Pretty cool. Any thoughts on how to indicate to the user that they should press and hold to launch a menu? Doesn't seem like an interaction common the web.

Unrelated, but I think QR codes are nice when there are mobile demos: http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

Good call on the QR codes. I would either use like one of those half opacity overlays on load that have arrows and instructions, like when the linkedin app launched, or use joyride: https://github.com/zurb/joyride

I definitely agree that there would need to be a prominent call to action on first visit (session) , that would indicate the functionality exists.

GitHub links are broken. (18:39 GMT)

Oops, not anymore :)

still broken :(

"Hey guys check out this thing I built: links to it dont work" <facepalm>. Ok now they do.
