  1. hammer.js

    A javascript library for multi-touch gestures :// You can touch this

    Project mention: Tattooing The Black Keys Fans Using MediaDevices and PixiJS | dev.to | 2025-01-30

    Originally, I used HammerJS to allow the user to use their fingers to do this but I found it rather difficult to use two fingers and try to capture a photo of myself. It’s a bit easier to simply hold my phone firmly and use the sliders to adjust.
