General swipe behavior in 4.0 about angular-winjs

[AmazingJaze]

Hi @nikolafon, apologies for the long delay.

WinJS Pivot uses native browser CSS Scroll Snap Points http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-snappoints/
to achieve the sticky swipe behavior you experienced in Windows Phone. Not every browser has implemented support for this yet but it is part of the W3C standard. In browsers where native features are not yet implemented we will fall back to the basic support you saw in the Android browser.

We don't currently have pattern to reveal a pattern on edge swipe. WinJS is a cross browser library and I would expect that such a pattern would require support from a native event to inform WinJS when an edge swipe has occurred. Are you aware of other controls library supporting this pattern?
From a WinJS controls standpoint you could use a WinJS.UI.SplitView with

closedDisplayMode: WinJS.UI.SplitView.ClosedDisplayMode.none;

To achieve the visual and layout requirements of that scenario, but you would still require an event to know when to toggle the SplitView.opened property to true.

Regarding your last question there is not currently support in the ListView to swipe on an item to reveal new options.The closest thing to this sort of listitem swipe behavior was "cross slide" which was removed from the ListView in WinJS 3.0 I have asked around and there are currently no plans to add support for this pattern in ListView

Thanks @AmazingJaze for the thorough explanation. In the end I went for my custom solutions and I can say I regret. Way to much cross browser issues. Going with WinJS you might not be able to achieve all the goals that you want it the app but at least what you have is going to work properly in all browsers.
