Question
It appears that side-swipe menus are becoming a more common interface element as more information gets crammed into each iPhone app. Facebook has included it in their latest version and the new Gmail app appears to include it as well. I was wondering if anybody had thoughts on the most efficient way of developing something like this as it's becoming a more common interface element. While I have my own thoughts on how to build this, I'm curious to hear what other people think.
Answer
I recently came across this, didn't actually look at the code or test the control, but looks like it may be a very decent starting point.
