Description
I see this library no longer works with a newer version of React than 16. I tried to debug this issue, and found the following:
This is because it uses react-panresponder-web, which in turn depends on react-dom/unstable-native-dependencies (that no longer exists). It seems to use injectEventPluginsByName and a forked version of the react-native-web ResponderEventPlugin.
injectEventPluginsByName was removed in some newer version of React, and ResponderEventPlugin was removed in [this commit](https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/commit/66751502a337f5fc7bc774ec4aa5cfa7735e5566) and replaced with a useResponderEvents hook.
I attempted to fix this but i am not quite sure how to proceed. I see that react-native-web now has a new Responder Event System implementation: https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/issues/1568. This uses hooks, but it should be possible to wrap this around a class component as well.
I would be very grateful if you could fix this issue, or atleast give me a few pointers on how to proceed with fixing this.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the react-panresponder-web dependency and its use of react-dom/unstable-native-dependencies and injectEventPluginsByName. Compare the current react-native-web responder event implementation and useResponderEvents hook; done means the library works with React versions newer than 16.
