[Question]is it usable for touchscreen?

[lVentus]

Hello! I wonder if it can work for touchscreen? I have a surface pro, and I want it to work with touchscreen as well, when it is in tablet mode. Is it possible? Thanks a lot!

Fusuma does not handle touchscreen events, so it should not work. It is possible to implement the feature improvement, but it is difficult because I do not have a touchscreen device.

Don't want to give you too much hope till the work is done, but at the moment I'm working on a plugin which should allow Fusuma to work on touchscreens. By the very same reason - I have a surface pro and I want Fusuma to work on it :)

That's great! Feel free to ask any questions you have. I'm here to help!

I'd like to share some progress report:

• you can watch it here https://github.com/Phaengris/fusuma-plugin-touchscreen/tree/draft
• at this moment it is very draft, supports only tap events and the structure of the plugin is still under question
• I consider it as a very first step which gave me some understanding of how a Fusuma plugin should be built

The next step is to try to implement swipe support :) Any comments / feature requests are welcome.

[Phaengris]

Some progress report :) sorry for being slow with updates, I have not much time to work on this...

• added swipe support
• heavily reworked the plugin's structure

The next steps: add hold support, then release 0.0.1, then work on pinch / rotate / edge. (Or add pinch / rotate, then release 0.0.1? :thinking:)

That's really amazing! I'm thinking of buying a touchscreen device myself so that I can try it out :smile:

I think it's a good idea to release the features gradually, in smaller increments.

[Phaengris]

Progress report: hold support.

@iberianpig you're probably right :+1: let me release it and then add features.

[Phaengris]

Well, I've released it as a gem https://rubygems.org/gems/fusuma-plugin-touchscreen/versions/0.0.1.alpha

I still consider it an alpha version :) but releasing it as a gem may give a chance to install it for everyone who would like to try.

I need to write some readme at least and also add some tests to make it non-alpha.

[Phaengris]

I was away from development for a time, but now there's some news:

• pinch implemented
• rotate implemented
• covered with specs

What's left to do is to finish a spec for TouchBuffer, then release 0.1.0

[Phaengris]

Well, 0.1.0 is released, readme and changelog are updated. So now we can say, with some caution :) that Fusuma has support for touchscreens :)

Now I'll start to use it on my device and see if there are any bugs to fix / opportunities to improve. Anyone who can / want to test it is very welcome!
