Change recommended test app

html5gamepad.com has been loaded with sketchy adware and autoplay ads and is apparently advertising sale of scraped user data

suggest pointing users to https://greggman.github.io/html5-gamepad-test/ or https://apps.nektro.net/gamepad

Thanks for the heads-up, that's unfortunate to hear.

Do you know of an alternatives that share the same user-friendly interface? Both of your suggested alternatives work but they lack the graphic that shows which inputs correspond to which axis/button on the controller. I think that's important since users are not working with physical controllers and it can help identify swapped or mis-assigned inputs.

Previously the README directed users towards gamepadviewer.com, which has a nice display of the controller but lacks the debug information from html5gamepad.

In my opinion pointing to either of the above (along with gamepadviewer.com for visualizer if that actually is necessary) is much better than pointing traffic toward a site that is a transparently user-hostile data gathering scheme:

As I said, I am more than happy to change the recommended testing link if you know of an alternative with the same feature set.
