Why I built Gaitcha.

Built by Willy Bahuaud

I’m Willy Bahuaud, an independent WordPress developer. I work on Gutenberg, complex architectures and custom integrations.

I built Gaitcha to keep form verification on the website’s own server. The engine analyzes the interaction around a checkbox. You can read the code, adjust the settings and see how it makes a decision.

Two repositories, one engine

• Gaitcha: a PHP library and JavaScript client, independent of WordPress.
• Gaitcha for WordPress: CMS integration, eight connectors and native form protection.

This site documents core 0.8.0 and plugin 1.3.1. Their GitHub repositories contain the code and releases.

Free to use and understand

Both projects are released under GPL-2.0-or-later. The software is free; you provide and operate your hosting. No SaaS subscription is required to use Gaitcha.

Contribute

A useful issue includes versions, the affected form, the browser and reproduction steps. Keep secrets and visitor data out of public issues.

Accessibility feedback, false-positive reports, translations and connector testing are especially valuable. Documentation changes and pull requests belong in the two GitHub repositories.

Need a custom WordPress architecture?

I also work with agencies and clients on their WordPress projects. If you need Gutenberg development or an integration with an existing system, you can contact me at Wabeo.
