- canada_dry 6y agoDisappointed by the somewhat sparse documentation and it's not open-source. Certainly looks interesting, and seems he has 384 patreon supporters so there's definitely something there.
- chews 6y agoIt’s a niche tool for people with disabilities... but that’s not to say you can’t use it being fully able. There was an HN post from a hacker about being a software engineer while having a degenerative muscle condition that makes it hard to type. I’m tempted to support just to get the full version.

- meisel 6y agoI used this software for a few months, and it was very nice to work with

- ornornor 6y agoWell you do need eye tracking hardware for it to work. I think the recommended hardware is the Tobii 4 or 5
- purplecats 6y agooh.. i assumed it was using the webcam.
