My previous article warned that horizontal motion on Tinder has irreversible consequences. I’ll save venting on that topic for a different blog, but at first glance, swipe-based navigation seems like it could be a job for Web-Slinger.css, your friendly neighborhood experimental pure CSS Wow.js replacement for one-way scroll-triggered animations.
