Features include:

• inertia and snapping
• multi-touch, simultaneous interactions
• cross browser and device, supporting the desktop and mobile versions of Chrome, Firefox and Opera as well as Internet Explorer 9+
• interaction with SVG elements
• being standalone and customizable
• not modifying the DOM except to change the cursor (but you can disable that)

Example

var pixelSize = 16;

interact('.rainbow-pixel-canvas')
  .origin('self')
  .draggable({
    modifiers: [
      interact.modifiers.snap({
        // snap to the corners of a grid
        targets: [
          interact.snappers.grid({ x: pixelSize, y: pixelSize }),
        ],
      })
    ],
    listeners: {
      // draw colored squares on move
      move: function (event) {
        var context = event.target.getContext('2d'),
            // calculate the angle of the drag direction
            dragAngle = 180 * Math.atan2(event.dx, event.dy) / Math.PI;

        // set color based on drag angle and speed
        context.fillStyle = 'hsl(' + dragAngle + ', 86%, '
                            + (30 + Math.min(event.speed / 1000, 1) * 50) + '%)';

        // draw squares
        context.fillRect(event.pageX - pixelSize / 2, event.pageY - pixelSize / 2,
                         pixelSize, pixelSize);
      }
    }
  })
  // clear the canvas on doubletap
  .on('doubletap', function (event) {
    var context = event.target.getContext('2d');

    context.clearRect(0, 0, context.canvas.width, context.canvas.height);
  });

  function resizeCanvases () {
    [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.rainbow-pixel-canvas'), function (canvas) {
      canvas.width = document.body.clientWidth;
      canvas.height = window.innerHeight * 0.7;
    });
  }

  // interact.js can also add DOM event listeners
  interact(document).on('DOMContentLoaded', resizeCanvases);
  interact(window).on('resize', resizeCanvases);
