Swipe Gesture to Control Chat Menu

On mobile, the PWA (progressive web app) works very well. My only complaint? I cannot swipe to open/close the menu for chat histories, search, etc.

This can be easily done by simply creating a new class/components, with react-swipeable, enabling the alternating between open and closed states of the given the chat histories component.

This would make it much more easy and intuitive to use on mobile, and would appreciate it greatly.

    Swipe in the browser on mobile is used for history navigation, we do not want to override that.

    We will have swipe gestures when there is a “real” mobile app.

      I was referring to the mobile PWA, which is quite different than the desktop page. They can be isolated just fine.

        Separate from mobile web?

          As a WPA in particular. I only desire this function on mobile, for I have implemented this on my own software and it is far better than reaching up o the far left corner to open the menu. It still works with trackpad gestures just fine on desktop even in a narrow layout for going forward and backward as many browsers intend.

          I have zero reason for this to function on desktop, and therefore should be disabled.

            will look into it.
