In October 2014, Ionic released a new feature called the Ionic Tinder-style Cards ion, responding to high demand for Tinder-like swipe card interfaces within the Ionic framework. Originally inspired by the app Jellyfish, the swipe card functionality was developed to showcase the capabilities of Ionic and HTML5, emphasizing the swipe interface's wide applicability for processing lists of items with simple positive or negative reactions. This feature allows users to swipe cards left or right, animating the stack beneath the current card, and incorporates the collide animation library to create physics-style animations, such as springs and gravity. To utilize this feature, developers can integrate it into their projects using Bower, and a demo is available on GitHub to demonstrate its implementation.
