"It's developed to work well responsive sites, supporting all large mobile browsers"

So how does it perform on Opera Mini or the most widely used stock Android browsers? I didn't see them in the list of browsers this was tested on.

Well, Opera Mini doesn't even support touch events -- so that's a tough one. Opera Mobile on the other hands works fine, and it will be added to the list.

A wide range of the browsers available on Android are supported, but I don't see the need to list all of them.

Good to know. So we'll always need fallbacks.

"A wide range of the browsers available on Android are supported"

Interesting, but what I'm getting at is: will this work for most Android users? 65% of Android devices have <4, which Chrome can't run on, and many of the remaining 35% don't have Chrome but an older stock browser. I'm genuinely curious whether this slider works on those most common browsers.

Awesome slider. Works nicely on Dolphin and Browser. How does this compare with DragDealer? http://code.ovidiu.ch/dragdealer/ Yours looks smoother, but it's too close to tell.

I hadn't seen DragDealer before - looks awesome! But the use cases are maybe not comparable between it and Swipr, even though DragDealer has more functionality. I'd quess that you could get it to do what Swipr does!

However, DragDealer doesn't support IE10 Mobile - as most libraries don't. Which is one big reason why we decided to roll out our own library.
