core-list & mobile scrolling

[maxs...@gmail.com]

core-list appears to break on iOS (items stop being rendered) when used with "-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch". Is enabling smooth mobile scrolling in the works for it?

Also curious around the plan for mobile scrolling in general - should we expect any type of official scroller component in the future? I'm not completely current on the state of mobile scrolling/lists but my understanding is that "-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch" mostly eliminated the need for fancy JS scrolling optimizations or simulations but that positioning, snapping, pull to refresh, zooming, infinite scrolling, etc are common nice to haves in a scroller widget. Or is this something we should plan to handle ourselves?

Did I ask too much here? Hoping at least just to know I'm not missing something on core-list, it isn't possible to get it scrolling smoothly on iOS currently right?

The method used to make touch-scrolling smooth on iOS includes eliminating the chance for JavaScript to do anything. So by definition, this flag is incompatible with `core-list`, which is attempting to virtualize large lists via JavaScript.

Yes.

I believe that statement is in opposition to itself. As above, native touch-scrolling disables JavaScript, and removes the ability to implement any of the 'common nice to haves', and therefore requires 'fancy JS scrolling' is required to have any custom behavior.

Optimizing core-list and improving scroll behaviors is one of our major goals, stay tuned for updates.
