What's the difference between this addon an "ember-gestures"?

Perhaps you could mention something in the README?

Is the answer just: "ember-gestures internally uses HammerJS, but this is a much simpler more vanilla addon that doesn't bring in the HammerJS dep"?

edit: additional context: ember-gestures has recognizers as well, so when doing upgrades on my app and when googling ember gesture recognizer docs, this library always pops up and adds confusion because, if I haven't looked at the codebase in a while, it seems like something I might need to in order to upgrader to a more modern Ember or something

Correct, this addon started when I extracted the implementation from ember-mobile-menu after having issues with ember-gestures/hammerJS. In its current form it's a relatively minimal wrapper built around Pointer Events. The TouchData object is similar to the one provided by HammerJS. I've always had the plan to add more gestures than just pan but haven't had the need yet.
