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…
nsp on HNFeels 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.

From 1 comment

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.
