Creating Custom Gestures with Ionic (Tinder Swipe & Long Press) [v5]

In the past we had to use HammerJS or additional tools to setup custom gestures, but since Ionic 5 we are able to build our own gestures based on an internal Ionic API!

Today we will give this new API a try and implement a simple long press gesture as a basic example, and also a more complex Tinder like swipe behaviour for our Ionic app – all with the new Ionic Gesture controller!
