haptic
A small tap from the hardware when something commits. Not a vibration on every pixel.
What is haptic?
Haptics are tactile feedback: selection, success, warning, impact. They confirm a gesture the screen already showed. They are not a notification, and they are not available on every device.
Why does haptic matter when vibe coding?
Models either never use haptics, or buzz on scroll. Name the one moment: the toggle, the destructive confirm, the snap.
How do you do haptic?
One haptic on commit, matched to the outcome. Respect reduced-motion / system settings where the platform asks. No haptic on mere hover or scroll.
How do you ask a model for haptic?
Haptic only when (action) commits. Success vs warning, not a buzz on scroll. No-op when the device has no haptics. Do not fire on every list row.
What goes wrong with haptic?
A custom vibration pattern that feels like an alarm. Use the platform’s selection and notification styles.
