v5 Features Roadmap

Top priority

• Modularize the iScroll
• Make it a universal javascript scroller
• Better Android performance. Android touch events fire inconsistently, especially when a new scroll sequence is initiated. Explore ways to overcome this issue
• Draggable scrollbars

Enhancements

• Create mobile webkit dedicated version (phonegap friendly)
• Better 2D snap (to snap in a x by y grid)
• Revisit the zoom code
• Better documentation
• More demos
• Better, more natural 360° scroll bouncing
• Better wheel interaction (eg: on horizontal scroll vertical wheel scrolls horizontally)

New features

• Use any element as a scrollbar (even external to the iScroll)
• Custom easing formulas, especially on snap.
• Linking together 2 or more elements (Parallax scrolling), actually it could be related to interactive scrollbars
• eventPassthrough, keep native scrolling unaltered on not-full-page horizontal iScroll
• Add onFlick event. By default with snap it triggers prev/next navigation.
• Add module/plugin to fire an event onScroll (resource intensive)
• Keyboard bindings
• webTV compatible
• Dedicated domain
• invertWheelDirection (scroll down goes up and vice versa)
• Inertia with mousewheel, also acceleration might be useful
• Explore lazy loading/infinite scrolling feasibility
• Explore merge with SwipeView feasibility
• Explore merge with 2 Way iScroll feasibility
• IE<9 compatibility
• Add Active class on tapped elements
• pause() method
