+<p>Efficient navigation is one of the cornerstones of a well-designed app. While apps are generally
+built in a hierarchical fashion, there are instances where horizontal navigation can flatten
+vertical hierarchies and make access to related data items faster and more enjoyable. Swipe views
+allow the user to efficiently move from item to item using a simple gesture and thereby make
+browsing and consuming data a more fluent experience.</p>
+<h2>Swiping Between Detail Views</h2>
+<p>An app's data is often organized in a master/detail relationship: The user can view a list of
+related data items, such as images, chats, or emails, and then pick one of the items to see the
+detail contents in a separate screen.</p>
+
+<img src="../static/content/swipe_views.png">
+<div class="figure-caption">
+ Master (left) and detail (right) views.
+</div>
+
+<p>On a phone, since the master and detail are on separate screens, this typically requires the user to
+jump back and forth between the list and the detail view, aka "pogo-sticking".</p>
+<p>In cases where users will want to view multiple detail items in succession, avoid pogo-sticking by
+using the swipe gesture to navigate to the next/previous detail view.</p>

+<h2>Checklist</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Use swipe to quickly navigate between detail views or tabs.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Transition between the views as the user performs the swipe gesture. Do not wait for the
+ gesture to complete and then transition between views.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If you used buttons in the past for previous/next navigation, replace them with
+ the swipe gesture.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Consider adding contextual information in your detail view that informs the user about the
+ relative list position of the currently visible item.</p>
