  7. A little job for your mouse.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Also, if you’re someone who uses both a standard mouse with a traditional scroll wheel and a trackpad, I highly recommend Mos. It’s a little utility that allows for your trackpad scrolling to be natural while leaving scroll wheel behavior untouched. I love it since I use a KVM and a Logitech G703 wireless mouse with my gaming desktop and M1 Mac mini, while also having a Magic Trackpad 2 for the Mac as well.

  10. If you want your file uploads to work even without JavaScript, you can include an element with the class fallback that dropzone will remove if the browser is supported.

  11. A simple way to make your 3rd party mouse better.
    If I may present an alternative to Mos: Mac Mouse Fix accomplishes the same thing, is just as simple and lightweight but a little less sketchy in appearance. Here’s the Git as well.
