UI designers: please please please please please please please please please please please please give us a way to enter a number exactly instead of only a slider that can't be precise.
I know a difference of one seems unimportant to you, but I literally have to hold my breath unable to even breath right until I get it right. I know I'm not the only one out there. I don't want a value that is "close enough."
Just make the value text a box instead of a label.
This might be an #ActuallyAutistic thing, I don't know. Regardless, it's super simple to just make it a box I can manually edit.
This is even worse on mobile where taking your finger off the screen can move the bar.
And I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels this way.
