  • Feels native on iOS and Android Chrome

    From 2 comments
    • This is fantastic - feels native (iPhone 5, iOS 6.1). Semi related: does anyone know of a good js library for displaying side navigation(a la face books app) or detecting swipes…

    • Feels great on Chrome on Android. My only nitpick might be that the delete button is really close to the edge of the screen; a larger margin would be nice, I think.

Objections

  • Discoverability: users may not know swipe gesture

    From 1 comment
    • I'd hesitate on implementing this. What kind of discoverability does this have? Do er simple assume all our users have been trained in this technique by others?

  • Only worked in WebKit browsers at first

    • Webkit only :( Misses CSS rules and a transform (AFAICT) for Gecko, Presto (RIP) and Trident.

  • Swiping a second item only cancels the first swipe

    From 1 comment
    • Super cool. Small issue: if you swipe one entry, then immediately swipe another, it only cancels the first swipe. You have to swipe a second time to bring up the delete option.…

  • iOS Mail app swipe behavior

    From 1 comment
    • Right now, it's implemented just like the iOS mail app. Your suggestion sounds more intuitive though. I'm curious to hear if others feel the same way.
