Use the Pointer Events API

[bates64]

For some reason this project uses the Safari Force Touch API or something... why? The standardized API for detected pointer events, is, of course, the Pointer Events API... and it supports pressure. It works in all browsers, including IE 10... except Safari doesn't support it yet, obviously. ^{Thanks, Apple!}

Quoting sidebar:

But thanks for the issue, I've added it to a milestone so I can remember to do this! 🐌

Couldn't you, like, fallback to the Safari API and use the Pointer Event .pressure property when its available now? 📦

[towerofnix]

No, because I can't test it. The only browser that tracks MacBook pressure input is Safari, and it only sends it through its own API.

Say what you will, or "USE PRESSURE.JS 😠", but I'm not going to send off any untested code to the internets!

OTOH, I'll update the milestone. Really I should do this when any browser supports the normal pressure API with MacBooks, okay? Because then I can test it.
