Some HN folks found that the URL parameter accepts… anything as output language https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47408940

Was surprised to see haptics work here https://haptics.lochie.me/ (https://github.com/lochie/web-haptics) on Safari iOS because Safari doesn't support `navigator.vibrate`.

An older project make it work too: Tactus https://tactus.aadee.xyz/ (https://github.com/aadeexyz/tactus)

Turns out it's a hidden `<input type="checkbox" switch>`. `switch` was added as part of Safari 17.4 https://webkit.org/blog/15054/an-html-switch-control/ (Feb 2024). It's the one that creates the haptic feedback.

WebHaptics simply toggles the switch at specific timing patterns 🫨

Wondering what do you call this? Is there a name for this kind of navigation?

Manual pagination? Slow mode? Finite scrolling? Windowed browsing?

Neat ideas for navigating threaded comments & new comments highlighting. I kinda thought of this but really wonder about its usefulness.

- If there's too much nesting of comments, the sidebar space won't be enough
- It shows "[INT] [NAME]" where INT = vote count. Higher count is probably more read-worthy?
- Per-day filter for new comments highlighting is probably too broad in scope if the conversation is too active.
- Sidebar won't appear on smaller viewports 🫠

Somehow manage to whip this up, extracting the idea from this discussion thread.

Now that the poll is done, thinking if something like this make sense?
