But &ldquo;gestures&rdquo; is a trap of a category: swipe-to-delete on a task list, drag-to-reorder in a kanban board, pinch-to-zoom on an image, and resize-handle interactions on a canvas are all gestures, and they are all different problems. The three libraries that own this space — <strong>hammer.js</strong>, <strong>@use-gesture</strong>, and <strong>interact.js</strong> — are so often compared as if they were interchangeable that teams routinely pick the wrong one and rebuild it from scratch two sprints later.</p>
