Show HN: Open-source hands-free mouse control with Tracky Mouse

Tracky Mouse lets you control your whole computer with just a webcam. It supports different modes to click, including dwell clicking and facial gestures. It can even provide three button mouse functionality, using closed eyes as modifiers to change what type of click is performed when opening your mouth. It also supports different modes to move the mouse, including Direct, Joystick style, and D-pad style modes. It's free (and ad-free) and will always will be. I want to make this the best accessibility software that I can. I have big plans already, but I'm always open to ideas. Downloads and an in-browser demo can be found on the website: https://trackymouse.js.org/
