- Worth noticing
- The page includes a tap-pattern demo with Zoom, Meet, Spotify, VS Code, and selectable tap sounds.
Field notes
The demo lets visitors choose among Zoom, Google Meet in Chrome, Spotify, VS Code, and a generic app, then test tap counts and sound effects. The page says website-specific rules take precedence over app rules, with an “anywhere” fallback. Four taps can open an expandable action menu; listed safeguards include ignoring input around typing and pausing detection while a moving car settles.
