Does anyone know how I can listen to swipe events? So I can make it to respond when a user swipes right or left on mobile.

Hello nice job and congrats on finishing the challenge !
To detect a swipe on mobile you could use the
touchstart
andtouchend
events. Check out this Stack Overflow question : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264072/detect-a-finger-swipe-through-javascript-on-the-iphone-and-android.Heres the second answer to detect horizontal swipes :
let touchstartX = 0 let touchendX = 0 function checkDirection() { if (touchendX < touchstartX) alert('swiped left!') if (touchendX > touchstartX) alert('swiped right!') } document.addEventListener('touchstart', e => { touchstartX = e.changedTouches[0].screenX }) document.addEventListener('touchend', e => { touchendX = e.changedTouches[0].screenX checkDirection() })
Alternatively, you could look into using a library like Swiper.js: https://github.com/nolimits4web/swiper
Let me know if this helps !
