Gladiator in the Gesture Arena
summary
Global Comics reader uses Flutter and ships a working set of custom recognizers: a custom triple-tap recognizer that counts three taps within 300 ms windows, a faster single-tap variant that wins after 150 ms to eliminate perceived lag, and a pinch-to-zoom built on InteractiveViewer where the ListView is nerfed to one pointer so scale wins. Page pan vs. swipe resolves by computing visible bounds and yielding swipe only when the zoomed content hits the edge.
