A friend last night floated a similar idea re: cutting off too fast - it'd be great to get sent a slo-mo of them blinking. I think you're totally right that it cuts too quickly and would gain a lot there. In general I am very very quick to cut and I think that contributes both to the experience feeling worse and to some of the bugs (there are definitely bugs!). The blink detection is also super finicky - blinks are just really fast, and if I dial down the sensitivity it's super easy to miss obvious blinks entirely. I'm glad this is resonating with some folks though. I wasn't sure before building it if it would, and this gives me a reason to iterate on and improve it :) |

But I'd encourage you to think about the experience you're trying to create, in terms of how to handle the sensitivity of blinking for ending a session. With a single blink being the end, then it becomes very easy to accidentally end a session (either via a bug in false positives, or of course just doing the human thing of blinking).
If you want to maximize time spent staring into a human's eyes without looking away, then the session could end after say 1-2 seconds of eyes being closed, or looking off screen. Then the choice to leave is a bit more intentional, and so sessions can last longer for folks who really want to see how long they can stare at a stranger without tapping out.
