Description

I'm attempting to simulate a joystick behaviour using your library.

Expectation:
- A swipe and hold should fire the `onSwiping` event
- The continuous gesture of swiping should not be necessary

The solution I have in mind would be to fire an event when the swiping starts, and another when the touch is released.

What is your suggestion to achieve this behavior?
Thank you for your time 👍

Research direction

Start by reading the existing react-swipeable hook behavior for onSwiping and touch-release handling. Determine whether swipe-start and swipe-end events are supported or would require a new API, then define the expected event timing and verify the joystick-style hold behavior. The issue does not name source files or tests.
