Using Macbook trackpad to weigh things

Unproofread notes

I came across a GitHub repo called TrackWeight that turns your Macbook trackpad into an accurate weighing scale. Yes, you put things on the trackpad, and it shows its correct weight.

This is how it works:

TrackWeight utilizes a custom fork of the Open Multi-Touch Support library by Takuto Nakamura to gain private access to all mouse and trackpad events on macOS. This library provides detailed touch data including pressure readings that are normally inaccessible to standard applications.

By the way, it's a DMG app that you will have to install on your device.
