After I saw [this topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/bugs-with-swipe-feature/21661/6), I had an idea I would work on:

Thanks @erwblo!  
It’s simple, but we can open our minds to more options to use it. Like I had none to use it instead of those famous ones like Tinder and so

i made a photo bio with the swipe function, in a bio or any other story you sometimes want to go back. Like in a book. As you show 😉

Your inspiration inspired me too. Needs some cleanup and reformatting, but check out the Swipe tab in this app.

Looking good! I imagine each swipe is incrementing?

At first yes, but I realized it wouldnt be needed. I used set column only to previous action

@Lucas_Pires Nice. I posted something similar - before I saw your post 🙂  
It shows the need for such a functionality. So great with apps actually doing it - all though a bit hacky

There’s still a little bit of a problem, not your fault, but before the “decrement” takes place, let’s say I’m at item 2, it still shows item 3 if I want to go back for just a second before the action kicks in.

</div>

yeah, I’m using set column for that. Not incremet action

Anyway, I see how glide works. It only recognizes it completely the action after the card is gone at all. So, I imagine this is why `3` appears first, after `1`.

Because glide also doesnt have an backward card animation when we swipe right overlapping yet, for instance

Just a thought for a little smoother flow.

> [@The swipe HACK](https://community.glideapps.com/t/the-swipe-hack/21794/4):
>
> If you filter the swipe to only access the first row, then you can increment a single cell and use that increment value for a relation to each row and lookups to pull the values into the first row, then it gives a little smoother experience. That’s what I did with my calendar. Everything is built from the 37 rows, but only the first row is used for display purposes.
