Swipe-Only Carousel With No Next or Previous Button

Why it matters

People with limited hand mobility and users of head-pointers, sticks, or eye-gaze systems.

How to test

Try a single tap on next/previous instead of swiping a carousel: if no button exists at all, it fails.

How to fix

A single-tap/click alternative must exist for every path-based or multi-point gesture.

<div ontouchstart="handleSwipe()"></div>

<button aria-label="Delete item">🗑</button>

Any path-based or multi-touch gesture needs a single-tap alternative that does the same thing.

Outcome

On a music streaming app's playlist screen, this barrier is gone for people with limited hand mobility and users of head-pointers — they no longer have to work around this.
