Goes without saying that I immediately disabled this. /shrug
This cannot be turned off, and the new phone can't be used in the first place until you set up credit card billing. It also seems to trigger "automatically" and "by accident" very frequently.
Sounds pretty neat if it's accurate.
Swipe bottom to up, to show the list of open apps, it will detect the images on the app preview. Click on an image, and there is a "shopping" option (part of Google lenses).
Did it think they’re chromosomes and try to sell DNA testing services?
If you're at Waterloo and have the chance to be in Craig's class, jump at it.
Rotating phone solved it but that’s against the point.
My big annoyance is how these massive balls of JavaScript and images and crap have infected UIs of web apps everywhere, as though people couldn’t understand a checkbox or something. Silly “UI designer” fad, and quite pathetic for a designer really, to just copy whatever Apple did.
The feedback is immediate and highly discoverable.
The Lock Screen on your phone has totally different criteria (ease, muscle memory) than a toy that uses the same metaphor (fun/challenging)
Also: isn’t it more fun this way??
Meanwhile, I find typing anything on my phone very annoying.
Really cool!

At least with this you don't need to rebuild the whole tower!
Also, the cost of failing is not much, quick iterations. You just have to remember what you did.

This also feels like playing a game of Operation [1]. The author just needs to add an annoying buzzer sound whenever you fail.
There are 31 levels, though I didn't personally finish. Proof [0]
I wonder if there is optimum phone size for this, mine might be smidgen too small
Game: "level 2: moar fingers required"
Me: "damn you fingers! y u get in each other's way all the time??"
Frustrating, but intriguing.
(To watch. Not to try to actually speedrun yourself. That sounds painful, emotionally as well as physically.)

I was at 4 fingers :(
I think maybe the focus and fine motor control needed to keep the ball within the lines…
Also in the code: if you want to see all the levels without touch, add ?debug=1 to the URL and use the spacebar to advance.
Did you know that "double-click" on early Windows literally meant "click the same pixel twice in rapid succession"?
Very cool... Unless it doesn't remeber your stage, and so... I cried when I swiped out the Firefox tab by mistake.
Edit: it does remeber, just need to slide once
Now there are finger prints all over my screen...
Any tips?
* 80% of the time they get triggered by accident, causing some loss of modal state or user data
* other 80% of time they DONT trigger when you DO want, because your gesture wasnt EXACTLY perfect or timed right
Oh thats the game!
