Link to pianoverse.net tile, so satisfying to play with: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#875,125

I also created an interactive tile based on my vanilla-tilt.js library for my app: https://webtiles.kicya.net/#625,3875


Or using CSS p:first-letter{ text-transform: capitalize;}:

  document.styleSheets[0].insertRule("p:first-letter{ text-transform: capitalize;}",document.styleSheets[0].cssRules.length);


That only works for paragraphs, not sentences.


Hi, Quick Cursor dev here.

I completely agree with you, my app functionality should be built inside the OS because of better integration, privacy reasons, etc.

I just wanted to add that because of this permissions my app needs in order to work, I will never add the internet permission to Quick Cursor. I took this decission 5 years ago when I started the app because I understood the privacy risk, and my app will never have internet access permission.

In order for an app to have access to internet, it needs to have the android.permission.INTERNET added to its manifest, otherwise it won't work. This can be checked easily, there are some apps that shows you this info about your installed apps, or by manually looking at the AndroidManifest in the .APK of the app.


Thank you for making this!

I am using GrapheneOS, and I think this OS actually also allows you to explicitly toggle the Network permission off for apps that require it, but I did notice that it wasn't even present on the list to begin with :). I also like to disable Network for things like keyboard apps.


I'm glad you like it. That's an awesome feature that should be implemented into all Android devices.


I completely agree. Just imagine how good this can be implemented at system level. I had to do a lot of "hacks" to make it work that good as a simple accessibility app.

I've got feedback from multiple users with disabilities that this app is helping them use their phone easier with one hand. It also helps users without disabilities like me, I use it every day and I can't use an Android phone without it anymore.

I would love to see something like this implemented in both iOS and Android by Apple and Google.


I appreciate you applied all those hacks to make it work though! Even though I do not have any disabilities I will definitely be using this. I do have an Android tablet and it will definitely be useful on that size!

Hopefully it gets picked up by both of them and they hire you to make it without any hacks :)


Thank you! And thank you for the XDA post back when I started the project 2 years ago. It helped me.

I improved the app continuously from 2 years ago when I started and I still want to improve it more.


You're welcome, and glad to hear you've kept up with the project!




can you try to go in Settings -> Swipe zones and change the trigger size? And then try to grab it from those triggers?

Thanks!



ES6 using jQuery? Using jQuery and not caching your selectors?
