fidget spinner

This is an online fidget spinner, so there is nothing to download and no app store involved. Flick across it with a pointer or a finger and the speed you get is the speed you put in, read from how fast your hand actually moved. Let go and it coasts on its own.

The sound follows the physics rather than sitting on top of it. Fast, and you get the steady whir of a good bearing. As it slows, the whir breaks into individual detents, the little ticks you can feel through a real spinner when it is nearly done.

A single coast counts its revolutions, and passing ten, twenty five and fifty each sets off a beat that escalates. Every revolution pays a Drop, so a long coast is worth more than several short ones, which is the whole reason to wind up properly rather than tapping at it.

Your best speed is kept, measured in revolutions per minute, and it is stored on your own device rather than anywhere else. Beating it is the only competition here, and it is with yourself.

There is no goal past that. Nothing runs out, nothing expires, and stopping costs you nothing. Reach for it when your hands want a job and the rest of you does not. If motion is reduced in your system settings the spinner still spins, calculated rather than animated, so it stays comfortable to sit with.
