What it does

A modern JavaScript touch gesture library. Allows developers to configure pre-existing gestures and even create their own using ZingTouch

ZingTouch provides six standard gestures that are completely customizable. Note: These demos are best viewed on a touch capable device. A tap event is a quick start and end of an input. Tap gestures can be configured with the amount of time inbetween a start and end, and the number of inputs it requires. A Rotate is detected when the user has two inputs moving about a circle on the edges of a diameter. A pinch is detected when the user has two inputs on the screen and moves one or both closer towards the other input, while expand is detected when the two inputs move further away from each other. A pan is detected when the user touches the screen and moves about the area. A swipe is detected…from zingchart.github.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
