Haptic Touch Bar: The missing haptic feedback for Touch Bar keys

Hey Product Hunters! Haptic Touch Bar is a simple app I wrote for the new MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar. As a Vim enthusiast who needed to press Esc 1000 times a day, it was extremely painful for me to touch type the virtual keys on Touch Bar. Without any force feedback, I found myself unconsciously and frequently looking down at the Touch Bar to make sure the keys were actually hit. To make my life easier, I wrote this app which utilizes the haptic engine of the Force Touch trackpad to provide haptic feedback whenever you press a Touch Bar key. Personally I find this app indispensable when I: - Use Vim and Vim mode in various editors. - Develop with JetBrains IDEs which have lots of F1-F12 hotkeys - Play with Windows virtual machines. Give it a try if you use MBP with Touch Bar. Feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks!
