The tool is particularly useful for individuals whose RSI limits their ability to perform repetitive hand motions during extended computer use.

From the sources

Clickitongue is a tool that removes the need to physically click mouse buttons, to help people with repetitive strain injuries. Its goal is for an experienced mouse user to feel no more encumbered than they would clicking normally with their fingers. Clickitongue learns to recognize specific sounds, and issues clicks (left and right) in response. It can tolerate noisy environments - people talking, air conditioners running nearby - without issuing spurious clicks. Clickitongue is available to everyone free of charge under the GPLv3.

    Ergonomic mouse where you lift your fingers to click2012 · igg.me · ▲28

    I've developed a mouse where I click by lifting my fingers instead of pressing them down. I've found that this helps with my RSI and I'm running an Indiegogo campaign (like Kickstarter) to see if others are interested in me doing a production run. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea! http://igg.me/p/173482?a=881199

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage.
