Your argument about the left nav seems wrong to me. I use the HipChat app on Android and iOS and it feels just like ours does. I've never used a left menu that had the effect your demo has. In fact, I know we are using inertia because you can "throw" the menu over to the side, and I coded it based on a velocity threshold of the drag (we just aren't bouncing at the end, which is really not a universal style). Perhaps you are noticing a browser/platform specific issue we can fix? I think your comment is a bit harsh, especially considering we've been working on this for all of two months and it's still in alpha. We have a long ways to go and we know it can and should be better. If you believe in the vision of making this the best way to build hybrid apps, then help us! https://github.com/driftyco/ionic https://github.com/driftyco/ionic By the way, I did find your demo quite impressive. Nice work.

I've just used a bunch of iOS apps that have that effect and I've found that inertia is present in way more interactions than are immediately apparent. Zynga Scroller is a pretty good (pure math!) implementation of it. Sorry that I was so harsh. I think the marketing copy turned me off a little bit. If this were presented a little less like "here is _the_ solution!" (when so many others have come before it) I would have been less of a jerk :/ I think what frustrated me is that you guys seem to have the right attitude and design to pull it off and I felt like the interactions weren't quite there. So please don't settle for anything less than perfect, no matter what it takes :) I do want to point out that your design is great and the interactions are a lot better than most of the web stuff that's out there. And it looks like you've spent a lot of time working on developer experience which is great too; impressive for only working on it for two months :)

  Sure, we could probably tone the copy down a bit :) If you don't mind, I'm going to see about getting some of the stuff in your demo into Ionic, that'd be cool.

    You may find yourself switching to React if you do :) Also I wrote a blog about the frosted glass stuff: https://medium.com/p/87ce4a41019f https://medium.com/p/87ce4a41019f
