And this is where the idea dies every time I've played with it sadly . Users aren't reliable. Hell, their computers aren't even reliable. Things like window focus and access to the iframe and yadda yadda change across browsers/settings/etc.

It's something that can most certainly be improved, but mostly through increasing the invasiveness of the script which.. I try to lean away from as much as possible. I tend to feel like I only have a limited pool of things I can dig into before some users go "bruh I don't trust this shirt not to Zuckerberg me" lolol.

It's honestly one of those things that is an interesting problem from a dev perspective but completely unsolvable b/c holy bagels is it a pure can of toxicity.
