  1. 🧵 1/3: What’s the difference between a carousel, a swiper and a slider?

    The terms are used interchangeably, but I would argue, there’s a semantic difference.

    #Carousels are circular. They start over once you reach the last item.

    #Swipers are linear. You can swipe back and forth, but once you reach the last item, you can’t swipe any further.

    #Sliders are input elements (e.g. volume controls), and thus entirely diffenret #UI #components
