I'm Oskar, and I built SlapScroll because I kept watching reels on my MacBook while eating - with greasy fingers hovering over the trackpad. It turns out every Apple Silicon MacBook has an accelerometer that almost nothing uses. SlapScroll reads it at ~800 Hz, filters out slow movement and typing, and when it feels a sharp tap on the case (or on the desk next to it), it skips to the next video in your browser. It's free. I'd love to hear: which site should I support next, and what's the weirdest place you managed to trigger it from? 🙂
