This may have already been posted but have you guys seen the FosTech Echo trigger group?
Drop in trigger for AR rifles. The rifle fires on the trigger pull and in the release. Has a 3 position selector switch. Safe,Fire,Echo.

Sounds like a clone of the binary trigger system.

I think you used to have to buy the whole gun with the binary trigger. May not be the case anymore.

Edit
Yea Franklin does offer just the trigger now.

I wonder how this is going to impact competition shooting. Putting two rounds on target with one trigger motion could be very time saving.

It doesn't look like anybody is going to get one anytime soon though.

Fostech Trigger

I little more detail in this video about components and how it works. I like it. I don't know if I like it $479 worth tho. You could definitely go thru a lot of rounds with it!

Seems annoying with the double shot.

I like the Geissele.

You're obviously not an Amazon prime member. This weekend is soon. October/November ain't soon.

You also need to remember that there is no physical link between the bolt carrier and the trigger group so there's potential of riding the hammer and having to recharge the rifle. But I'm sure with some practice the system could be mastered.

Bapple watch this Video starting at about the 1:18 mark and he addresses this. The trigger also comes with a new bolt carrier. I don't really know a lot about the AR platform but does this prevent what you are talking about?
Seems to be saying that if this happens you will just pull the trigger and it will fire without having to recharge the rifle.
