Pretty sure this API has been around for 8+ years and is likely at risk of deprecation. No, nobody used it, no it didn’t destroy the internet.

- tomcooks 5y agoNobody used it because it didn't work on most browsers.
- jeroenhd 5y agoIt works on Chrome, so that's most of the world's smartphones. Desktop support is obviously lacking, though you might be able to write an extension to forward vibrations to an attached games controller? Luckily, all the fancy web devs use iPhones so they probably don't even know about features like these, which helps in them not getting abused to hell. I've seen it used twice, once for physical feedback when using hassio (really nice) and once with one of those shitty scam ads (really awful). I was surprised that there wasn't a permission prompt for this API.
