Boing

Boing puts a red-tipped spring on a plain canvas and lets you pull, shove, and release it into a noisy wobble. Personal and worldwide counters turn the smallest possible web toy into a strangely communal fidget, while a heatmap and slow-motion switch reward another flick.

What is Boing?

This is the springy doorstop translated into a wonderfully overqualified website. Tug the red knob away from its wall mount and let go; the canvas handles the wobble while a sampled twang changes with the force of the release. Your own tally sits beside a worldwide count, and the heatmap reveals where other visitors have been launching the spring. Slow motion stretches both movement and sound into rubbery theater. Creator Greg Sadetsky released Boing in November 2025, then folded launch-day suggestions into the toy, including the shared counter, heatmap, slow motion, and dark mode. The result has no levels, prize, or productivity alibi. It is simply an unusually well-observed little object made clickable.

What you can do there

• Pull and release a virtual doorstop spring
• Compare release positions on the shared heatmap
• Switch the spring and sound into slow motion

Why we picked it

Boing earns its place by refusing to become more than its central joke. The careful motion, force-sensitive sound, communal counter, and map of other people's pulls give a familiar household nuisance just enough digital ceremony to become compelling.

How to get the most from it

Grab the red end, pull in a direction, and release. Try short and long pulls, then turn on the heatmap to compare your launch angles with everyone else's. For keyboard play, focus the canvas, hold Space or Enter with the arrow keys, and release.

Good to know

There is no score or finish line. Sound supplies much of the punch, and phones may begin with an unmute reminder. The page also offers an optional newsletter link; its published code includes analytics, local count storage, and a shared counter service. The spring's constant motion may not suit motion-sensitive visitors, though slow motion is available.
