Nice! I can't wait to try it on my touch screen PC.

Tried it -- it doesn't work on my Linux laptop touch-screen, because hand gestures count only as mouse moves, not drags. Windows might differ.

Update -- it does work on an Android tablet, where hand gestures do count as drags. Very nice -- if only my tablet were twice as big so my fingers wouldn't get in each others' way.

Pretty slick. Now to get it as an open-source app.

Very neat. One problem is immediate: when I handwrite an "x" for maths, it is as two 'c's touching back-to-back, so as not to confuse with some multiplication/cross-product symbol; such input proves very confusing to this code.
