So a malicious website can brick controllers. Good for author but I'm surprised its even possible.

You have to give it permissions to interface with the device, but also it sounds like a site wouldn't be able to so much "brick" it but rather miscalibrate it since it's not permanent. I assume it's just setting some offset values specific to the controller based on the stick's center point and whatnot. If a malicious site were to do that, you could just come back to this site and fix it.

Your comment was completely unrelated to the Show HN - a place for people to discuss and receive feedback on their work. No side-choosing needed here other than that of the original author and the people who want to talk about the thing being showhn.
WebHID is related, especially because usually on every single post involving WebHID you’ll have people bringing up how it’s not a real standard. That also segues into something I’ve mentioned before: moderation needs to be consistent. Randomly picking when to pull the trigger and when not is a bunch of crap.
Everything is related to everything somehow. You can't start dumb flamewars on HN and it's especially bad form to start them in people's Show HN, that's all.

Can you point me to said flamewar?
Chrome is doing amazing work with these WebAPIs. Here's a quick list of things enabled by Chrome being open-minded and allowing WebHID and WebUSB APIs to exist: - Turn your Stadia controllers into bluetooth controllers: https://stadia.google.com/controller/index_en_GB.html - Android Flash Tool: https://flash.android.com/welcome - fastboot.js - FastBoot API but entirely though the web: https://kdrag0n.github.io/fastbo…
