I have a mobile game idea that is “juggling for blind people”. You would use your phone as the hand to catch and throw balls in the air. All user feedback would be sound (ball going up, then going down) and haptic (catching and throwing the ball).

I am just a web dev so I don’t think I have the skills to make it. Just leaving the idea here in case someone wants to build it



You'll like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_Me_to_Heaven - your high score is how high you can throw your phone. Apple unfortunately didn't allow it on the AppStore.

It might be possible to do this as a PWA, using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Acceleromet...


Go for it!

Nice, didn’t know all those functions had web APIs. Thanks, I’ll give it a try


This is a super near idea! Thx for sharing :)

I also really agree that Haptics can be used in super unique ways for people with disabilities like blindness, since you are not dependent on visuals. Even for Tik! I tired to add some accessibility labels and support, but the possibilities are truly endless!


That's a really fun idea
