Slip.js

I've been playing around with making mobile apps using Cordova.  Being pretty new to this, my biggest challenges have revolved around implementing touch interactions.  For example, how could I swipe an element on a page and make it disappear, kind of like in Android notifications?

I found one little JS script that does (and more!).

Demo: https://pornel.net/slip/

Just make a list in your html, then paste this into your JS:

  var list = document.getElementById('yourListId');

        new Slip(list);

        list.addEventListener('slip:swipe', function(e) {

            e.target.parentNode.removeChild(e.target);

        });

Nice!

Also, I found this article to be helpful if you need more resources on drag-and-drop type stuff:
