The sticking of the cards or the underlying card not switching until the swipe is complete?

But that’s not moving backwards through the list. It only moves in one direction and that direct is a combination of sheet order and earliest swipe date. Swiping left or right only moves in one direction…forward. You can’t move backward to the cards you had just swiped. You have to make a complete rotation through all of them to get back to the one card you wanted to swipe back to. That’s why I went with the single row method. A single row will only swipe to itself, but additional actions on that left or right swipe (such as increment or decrement) can allow you to control which data is pulled into that single row.

Two things that would make this process easier:

- A Rank column that would allow for sequentially numbering rows.
- Some sort of native functionality or action to allow us to navigate from row to row. You can jump from a list to the details, back to the list, and back to the details… But we really need a way to just have previous and next actions that allow us to move linearly from each detail to the next, through each row in that list.

This one seems appropriate to share.

Sure, I can sort by the value in an inline list, but i wanted to retrieve the ordinal number of each row in this sorted list. I could always use a spreadsheet formula, but was hoping to avoid it.

Right. Swiping next still shows me the same card underneath until the swipe is complete.

Got it. Yeah, it’s a compromise I guess. I just tend to shy away from Swipe altogether. To me it’s cool, but just doesn’t flow how my mind expects it to. Also, like you pointed out, it’s not desktop friendly, and a little sensitive. If you have to scroll through content, then you are struggling to scroll in a straight line while the card is still wiggling back and forth. It needs some sticking tolerance when you swipe left or right before it actually starts to move.

You mean on my video, yes it’s not going back in same sequence and I just realised that 😳😳😳😳 !!! It’s actually the permutation I mentioned in point 5 above. It isn’t doing what I thought it was in 3 above. IOmg). Dumb me. Now back to workarounds. Not that I need them for ratings. But imagine a specific use case. I need to amend that post above.

You are right it’s not possible. For the The app link pls scroll to the top. You can use the workarounds there or use @Jeff_Hager calendar app example.

Did you imagine that you’d be using the phrase “sticking tolerance” when you woke up this morning? 😆

That’s what would be awesome for onboarding.  
What I’m searchig for to avoid long text you have to scroll down to see.

You can do that with a button action, link to screen, this item.

First - it’s really good to see a CEO that is engaging with the users - well done!  
Second - think about an app like google photos for instance - if you are on a single photo view - swipe right to next photo, swipe left to the previous one.

i don’t mind that the default is always “next item”, but would be nice if one of the programmable actions when swiping left could have been “go to previous item”

great app!  
thanks!
