Swipe interaction (like Tinder) on website

Hi everyone,

I have one quick question. If you build a web application that allows users to swipe through content (video, audio, picture, long text) like Insta story or Tinder, what frontend library or framework would you use?

I am building an education app that let teachers design interactive and multimedia content. To access everything, students need to download the app, but I still let them read multimedia content on website.

    I wrote a pretty in depth article about how to do this in Vue, which could be adapted for React or other frameworks.

    There are a lot of simple carousel options out there for going between a few items. But I couldn't find an option that let me control which items were rendered and had a native swipe feel like the apps you mentioned. So my solution isn't the simplest, but it's performed well for me and I'm using it in a production hybrid mobile app.
