Yo mobile developers please don't make swiping left or right do anything other than change tabs or pages.
Not indicating that swiping does something until I accidentally do that thing trying to switch to the next tab is bad and frustrating.
@Vann It's an accessibility issue, too.
I have nerve damage that affects my hands. So sometimes my phone misinterprets what I'm trying to do. And *poof* I lose data/notifications.
Tl, dr; gestures on *any* device are a really poor choice for UI.
@Vann @Qwyrdo What is at issue here is isn't the choice of using gestures, but the lack of any alternatives.
@Qwyrdo @Vann What works best for one person doesn't necessarily work best for another, and accessibility needs are broad.
Example: blind people basically use gestures to interact with a phone, and there's no real better UI for them.
