Why it surfaced

ClickLatch solves a small but concrete annoyance with an unusually clear interaction model: a one-second hold swallows the mouse-up, rewrites movement as dragging, and turns the next click into release. The site includes a browser demo, careful safety behavior, a 517 KB Apple-silicon build, and readable GPL-3 source.
