Haptic Feedback

Tactile feedback using the Vibration API:

Respects prefers-reduced-motion by default.

Mobile Forms

Optimizations

• Appropriate autocomplete attributes
• Auto-growing textareas
• Minimum 16px font size to prevent iOS auto-zoom
• Real-time validation with inline error messages

Bottom Sheet Modals

Native-feeling bottom sheets for filters, options, and more:

• Swipe to Close — Drag down to dismiss
• Backdrop Dismiss — Tap outside to close
• Drag Handle — Visual indicator for draggability
• Focus Trapping — Keyboard navigation contained
• Safe Area Aware — Adapts to device notches

Device-Specific Optimizations

iPhone X+ Support

• viewport-fit=cover for full-screen support
• Safe area insets via env(safe-area-inset-*) CSS functions
• Bottom nav adapts padding for home indicator

Touch Targets

All interactive elements meet WCAG 2.5.5 requirements:

• Minimum 44x44px touch targets
• 48x48px recommended for comfortable use

Performance

• Passive event listeners for scroll/touch events
• will-change used sparingly for animated elements
• CSS containment for rendering optimization
• Native lazy loading with adjusted thresholds for mobile

Pull-to-Refresh

Automatically available on collection pages:

1. Detects when user is at top of page
2. Tracks downward drag distance
3. Shows loading indicator at 80px threshold
4. Fetches fresh data and updates the grid
5. Includes haptic feedback on refresh

Browser Support

• iOS 12+ (Safari)
• Android 8+ (Chrome)
• Samsung Internet 9+

Features gracefully degrade on unsupported browsers (click fallback for touch, no haptic if unsupported, standard padding if no safe areas).
