Why HN links it

Linked for an article about jquery-tappable, a jQuery plugin that bypasses the 300ms click delay in iOS browsers. The one commenter points to it as the way to do this.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Googles fast button is too hard to implement imho. I use jquery tappable for that: http://aanandprasad.com/articles/jquery-tappable/ Provides a great and easy interface + fallback for click input.
