Hold to confirm button

A destructive action that needs a deliberate press and hold.

A ring fills while the visitor holds, and letting go cancels. Space or Enter held down works too, and a plain second button confirms in one press for anyone who cannot hold.

Try it

<button-hold-confirm>

Build one with your agent

Paste this into your agent. It asks you before it signs in, pays or goes further than checking and publishing.

Build me a Taggor component like "Hold to confirm button" (button-hold-confirm): A destructive action that needs a deliberate press and hold. Fetch https://taggor.dev/agent-setup/prompt.md and follow its instructions to set me up for Taggor. Ask me before you sign in, create an account, accept terms, pay for anything or type a secret. Check it with `taggor check` and publish it with `taggor publish`, and stop there. Do not promote it to production, attach it to a site, roll back anything or use --yes, --force or --force-drop-invalid unless I ask for exactly that in this conversation.
