A deterministic baby keyboard where actions have predictable, educational consequences to help babies learn cause and effect.

• Hold to Grow: Keys start growing immediately when pressed, reaching 2x size over 2 seconds
• Progressive Animations:
  • 0-2s: Key grows smoothly to 2x size
  • 3s: Key starts vibrating while staying large
  • 5s: Key begins spinning while vibrating
• Release to Reset: Letting go immediately stops all animations and shrinks the key back to normal

Keys light up with colors that map to their keyboard position:

• A = Blue (bottom-left anchor)
• 9 = Red (top-right numbers)
• M = Green (bottom-right letters)
• Colors smoothly interpolate across the keyboard in an RGB triangle pattern
• Keys to the right of 9 & M show beautiful yellows and warm tones

• Keys are grey by default
• Immediate color feedback when pressed
• White text on colored backgrounds for contrast
• Enhanced shadows and borders when active

• Cause & Effect: Every action has a predictable, visible consequence
• Temporal Learning: Babies learn that holding longer creates more dramatic effects
• Spatial Awareness: Color patterns help babies understand keyboard geography
• Motor Skills: Encourages intentional key holding vs. random pressing

• try to disable more keys (while still having a way to get out)

(maybe there's a better way to do this with a special app-wrapper)

• make full-screen
• turn off alfred cmd-space
• karabiner - turn off caps-lock to hyper so those hotkeys aren't activated
• Settings -> three/four finger swipe to change spaces
• see if I can turn off more of the fn keys
