Naturally if you'd had a quick look at the readme/roadmap, you might have noticed that this is a proof of concept :o)

V1.0 will combine it with a standard PHP captcha, which is replaced onload.

I did look at the readme. The client-side issue isn't a real problem. The fact that it's easy for computers to solve, on the other hand...

I get that it's a proof of concept, but it's a concept that doesn't work. You can't make recognizing a line easy for humans and difficult for a computer. The best you could do is introduce noise and make the line a shape that humans are likely to recognize... and bam, we're back at warped characters.
