Improve card swiping UX about swipeforfuture.com HOT 4 CLOSED

I've spent some time looking into the implementation and as far as I can see the state handling is broken.

There are a number of things with both useSprings and useGesture that don't play well with the current set up when updating props.

I think it would be wise and take a step back make sure the hooks are utilized correctly. (Or find another library which better supports our use case.)

But in reality these are two completely different issues. I'll create another issue regarding the state of the cards and state/prop problems. I'll try to fix it during the day.

Moved the state issue suggestion to #33

This is a great point!

If I remember correctly. Tinder has both buttons and swipe functionality in order to control the selection process. I like having both since swiping is not optimal in all cases. (Also maybe adding buttons could improve accessibility)

On your number idea 2: I think we could either add visual activation zones in the background or we could tint the cards when they reach an activated distance from the center.

On your idea number 1: What do you think about having only one card being interactive at a time? I think we could improve the state by completely removing the interactivity for the cards which are not currently active.
