You know that experiment with a window that tracks the cursor...? #9

The one that can even find the cursor when you jerk it off the window too quick for it to register? The one that keeps itself centered on the cursor 24/7? Yes, that one. And let's add a couple other things:

  • It could react within a frame of losing the cursor, so they struggle to escape its grasp.
  • It could constantly trigger focus after all spawned frames do, so you can't even make it go behind that Task Manager thingy that could make it go away, much less any of those pesky little floaty popups.
  • And while we're at it, let's make that trigger as many dancing popups as possible and contribute to the cycle of doom. 😈
    • Or not - we could just let it all happen in the background slowly enough they just sit there and sulk while their computer slowly eats itself out of swap space until their browser crashes from an OOM (and possibly the OS if it's not braced to tolerate it).

(It's one of the extra demos you showed off at JSConfUS 2018. And yes, I DM'd you on Twitter a few weeks ago suggesting this.)

Is there a link to this? Seems hella funny

edit: https://github.com/boehs/cursor-tracking (https://cursortracking.netlify.app)

Only works on chrome, yes the tracking is really really shitty but that is intended. makes it more annoying. if someone wants to work on keepalive that would help
