A few days ago I posted my free edging trainer here and got way more feedback than I expected. Thanks for that. I spent the last few days building what you asked for:
- Ticking sound. Several of you wanted to hear the rhythm instead of watching the ball. There is now a tick on every beat, you can turn it on before or during a session. Heads up: on iPhone it goes quiet when you switch to another app, that's an iOS limit I can't get around.
- Endless session. Someone asked for a session with no finish time. Pick ∞ as the length and it just keeps you surfing until you decide to end it.
- No more instant STOP at the start. A lot of people touched the screen in the first seconds and got stopped right away. Now you get a hint first. Tap only when you are actually close, not with every beat.
- Toys. Thanks to the one person who tested it on real hardware: on toys with two motors the vibration was out of sync with the rhythm. Fixed. Setup on phones is also clearer about what works and what doesn't (iPhone can't connect toys, sorry).
Some of you said it slows down too much after you tap. I'm trying out a gentler slowdown now, so tell me if it still kills the mood.
One thing I noticed: the first session is usually a mess, the second one goes much better because it remembers where your edge was. So give it two tries before you judge it.

What should I fix next?
