@david Sure, but as with Tinder, I often DO want to go back! Can you make it do that?

Just a word of caution 
The card does not appear to expand to fit the content (and personally I donât think it should), so just ensure that you donât allow too much data to be added.
Maybe limit the character number to ensure this doesnât happen

âYour are not swiping back and forth on a linear timeline of cards.â
Why not? This is a way of moving through a collection, is not that strange to want to go back in a collection. The first three persons I showed this functionality gave me the feedback that they expected to be able to go back as well, as do quite a few people in this forum.

I think it HAS to be an option, surely.

Use a Row Index, and Increment Action, +1 when swiping left, and Increment(Decrement) -1 when swiping right? Filter by Row Index?
*Havenât tested this, just wondering out loud.

Glide team!
This swipe thing is simply brilliant. Iâm loving it despite everything. Swiping an inline list back and forth not a problem at all. But like Robert
has pointed out the overlays need revisiting.
Perfect for onboarding. Here is an example. Amazing the way it auto scales and resizes everything.

That woould be great! And very much essential to build overviews of quizes or categories for swipes. Other wise itÂŽs a pain to build the swipe configuration everytime again! Please add this feature!

#FeatureRequest â For Swipe left â behaviour paired with âGo backâ could the system reverse the animation as bringing back the last card from left side? This would be brilliant.

I think whatâs needed here is another layout called Scroll thatâs meant for navigation. As @david mentioned, âswipe layoutsâ are meant to always go to the next record with actions tied to the direction.
The one thing Iâd ask for, though is the ability to have a button bar like indicator underneath the cards where we can place icons that represent the left/right actions (like tinder had under their cards) so users know what the actions are before interacting.

Just to add that if this is the way swipe should go for in terms of experience, then pulling Go Back action out of the list makes more sense. Agreed.

Touché.
We implemented a common pattern found in many popular apps. If you have an example of a popular app that uses a swipe view in an alternate desirable way, please share it.
One important aspect of these popular touch interactions is that they exhibit physical verisimilitude. Swiping left to retrieve a card from the bottom of the deck breaks this rule (is the top card connected to the bottom card by an invisible wire? Are the cards not actually placed under the deck after they are swiped? If so then how do they return to the top of the deck eventually?), so a reversible horizontal swipe interaction would not likely also show a deck of cards.

Admittedly, I havenât played with the swipe feature much and Iâm not sure I currently have a use for it in any current projects. I didnât initially view it as a deck of cards, but only as a way to navigate rows by swiping left and right. I think my very first impression of the swipe feature was to optionally perform either an action on swipe (to function like tinder), or if ânoneâ was selected, then linearly traverse from row to row either forwards or backwards. My first thought was to use it to view a photo album with addition components along with images, like comments, or like buttons, etc. I thought it would be more like how the photo carousel works, where you can go forwards or backwards, but be driven by rows instead of an array. The most common example of a popular app that I can think of is facebook where you can swipe left or right through a photo album and there is additional context on the screen, such as descriptions, likes or comment abilities attached to each image.
In my opinion, popular apps (tinder and snapchat come to mind) have interfaces that are not immediately intuitive to new users and take some trial and error to figure out. Once youâre used to it, itâs fine, but isnât immediately apparent to new users. Iâve never used tinder, but in my head, I always thinkâŠdoes swipe right mean to swipe your finger to the right, or swipe your finger to the left, so you end up with the item on the right of the current item (maybe itâs my small experiences with aviation where up is down and down is up and some people have trouble with that). Snapchat bugs the hell out of me because nothing is labeled, I always have to be in a quiet location, my volume is turned up, my fingers are ready to take a screenshot. Too much work to view a picture. Maybe Iâm too old. 
Point being, that popular interfaces donât always feel the most intuitive to me, but are different just to be different.

adding to what Jeff has said, and more out of curiosity than anything else, and I get the bit about the tinder and bumble algorithms helping to create the semblance of physical reality. @david you have just shared something that makes sense because on bumble, for instance, they donât let you go back (flagging a stupid message), and Tinder Plus whilst lets you do it, its only one swipe back, I think. But, in what way is an image carousel different from a swipe carousel (for want of a better expression). I never made much distinction between the two and always assumed the same logic went into both. Maybe thatâs where I went wrong.

I think feedback can be valuable as well without it being part of a popular app.
Having said that, put a child behind an ipad with photos and see if it expects swiping one way is next and swiping the other way is back.

That is a totally different interface from a card stack.
I am not arguing that interfaces that horizontally swipe back and forth between a series of items do not exist, or are unfamiliar to children, or should not exist in Glide. I am explaining that the Swipe interface is a different metaphor, and does not work that way.
