ok but seriously has anyone ever actually successfully implemented touch gestures on mobile web? the APIs for it are so fucking miserable and broken that i have to assume they are a psyop

Have you SEEN react.js? EVERYTHING is miserable and broken on this hellscape of an internet
correct, they're a psyop meant to keep roving bands of javascript engineers from banding together
the coerced popularity of the consumption-oriented RSI-bait touchscreen slab form factor is itself probably a psyop
now that we are in the future, we have slabs ✨ that fold. the peak of form factor inovation
all I know is that everything is broken in different ways on different platforms, the fixes one one platform cause bugs on another, and there’s no reliable way to know what to use
My disease-addled brian may be confabulating here but I believe Voyageur made use of the web touch gesture API to implement some of its mobile interface, but that was an Electron app and not a true website. I have no recollection of how I did it and no desire to find out, however.
