A mouse on an Android phone? Does your phone not have a touch screen?

• worewood 5y ago
  It HAD a touch-screen before getting water damage. Repair consists of replacing the entire screen as the digitizer is glued to it and I am too broke to do that rn; so I got a usb2go adapter and been using it this way for months

  Why not? An external keyboard & mouse with the android phone as a display should be allowed

    Most people don't have time/resources to test every possible interface for a free website.

      That is true. I did not want to sound entitled, it is a free for-fun project after all. Just wanted to bring awareness about UI events to other hnews readers

    It is allowed, in general. But some apps/websites don't play well with it. In this case, the creator, while developing the site, chose some UI events which don't fire with a mouse on a phone. I.e. the "hold" action on a sound.
