## What it is
Dragdealer is a dependency-free vanilla JavaScript library providing drag-based UI components such as sliders, with support for 2D dragging, tapping, mouse and touch input. It is small (~12KB) and works in any browser.

## Use cases
- add a draggable slider to a webpage
- build custom carousel or swipe controls in vanilla JS
- implement touch-friendly drag interactions without jQuery
- create snap-to-step slider controls
- add 2D draggable handles to a UI

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free drag/slider component
- you want broad browser and touch support in plain JavaScript
- you need fine-grained control over dragging behavior like snapping and sliding

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active development
- you are using a modern framework and prefer framework-native drag libraries
- you need accessibility features beyond basic drag interaction
