Need a Hand
With a massive hand comes massive responsibility
What is Need a Hand?
"Need a Hand" is a versatile Chrome add-on that allows you to project an interactive hand onto every page you visit. The extension not only adds a fun, oversized cursor to your screen but also helps assess website compatibility with tactile interfaces like tablets. It's perfect for presentations, tech-savvy users, and anyone with a sense of humor or appreciation for hands. Although there are some limitations (like not working with the Chrome Web Store, Gmail, and certain large screens or after scrolling on Twitter), improvements are constantly being made.
