What it does
Tap for developers is typing at your finger tips literally... Without a keyboard.
Pair Tap, install the Python SDK, connect, switch to Controller mode, and print your first tap combination.
One path. Pair the Tap, install Python, connect, enter Controller mode, and print a finger combination. When you see a tapcode in the terminal, you are done. Put the Tap Strap in pairing mode and pair it in your OS Bluetooth settings (macOS, Windows, or Linux). The SDK does not scan for an unpaired device — it attaches to a Tap the OS already knows.

After pairing, await connect() returns a TapSDK (v1 / classic Tap Strap) or TapSDK2 (v2 framed firmware). Register callbacks, then await sdk.start() to arm notifications.

Why: I often found myself rewriting input handling, spinners, and progress bars when building CLI tools. Existing options in Go felt either too barebones or too heavyweight. Tap aims to provide a middle ground: ergonomic, event-driven prompts with minimal dependencies. What works today: - Text and password input - Confirm and single-select menus…

Talanoa▲343Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
