Please add explanation of "Why?" to the README #9

I'm sorry, I'm probably being a complete idiot here, but I just don't get it. What does listening to tap events give me that listening to straightforward click events doesn't? Is it about solving the 300ms delay issue?

Could you add a bit of a "Why?" section to the README?

Is it about solving the 300ms delay issue?

Yes - I'll see if I can add a brief explanation to the read-me.

Pull requests are always welcome!

Thanks for your quick reply.

How does it compare to something like https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick which you can just throw on an existing site, and clicks go fast (including things like plain <a> link tags), rather than having to change everything to listen to tap instead of click?

Would it be fair to say you don't need both?

alexgibson commented 11 years ago

They are really just a different solution to the same problem. I wouldn't just throw it at everything on an existing site though.
