It has always been my understanding that we’re merely talking about swipe-gestures as an _alternative_ to clicking a button that will be visible regardless.

Going back to the hamburger menu on the left: I don’t know about iOS, but on Android there’s definitely a trend of slide-in menus from the left, always discoverable via a visible hamburger bar.

And the menu tends to be a content-portal.

**Note:** These all had a visible hamburger icon in the top left corner before I clicked/swiped to reveal the menu.

I think this convention makes a lot of sense for Discourse as well.

Interestingly, none of these has a slide-in, full height menu on the right.
