Haptic Touch Bar

What it does

Haptic Touch Bar uses the built-in haptic engine of your Macbook Pro to provide haptic (force) feedback whenever you press a keyboard key on the Touch Bar.

After playing with Haptic Touch Bar for a while myself, it seems unimaginable that Apple didn’t implement something like this out of the box. Not only does the app augment the Touch Bar experience, but it makes the Touch Bar feel like an actual extension of your keyboard. If you bought your MacBook Pro in 2016 or later, you’re probably still cursing Apple for replacing the top row of the keyboard (Esc, F1-F12 row) with a ‘touch bar’ that makes it impossible to touch type. The lack of sound or haptic feedback makes it like typing on a flat table top! Serious high-end MacBook Pro owners use these silent, unresponsive top row keys frequently—and it’s incredibly annoying to keep looking down to…from haptictouchbar.com

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
