Answer 1

I think I implemented it and I hope you can leverage this code and provide feedback.
The component template consists of 3 parts:
indicator for user's choices, it gets visibility (opacity) whenever
the user drags their choice into yes/no direction
actual stack of cards
buttons that user can use to make their choice as an alternative to
dragging
The template code + scss code is as follows:
// HTML:
<div class="tinder" [hidden]="!cards.length">
<div class="tinder--status">
<div [style.opacity]="crossVisible? '1':'0'">
<svg width="200px" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512">

Some notes:
the template features *ngFor that replicates each card and positions
it in the stack
we leverage hammer.js' pan and pan-end gesture events to deal with dragging
we are listening for transition-end events to actually remove cards from the stack

})
};
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.moveOutWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth * 1.5;
this.tinderCardsArray = this.tinderCards.toArray();
this.tinderCards.changes.subscribe(()=>{
this.tinderCardsArray = this.tinderCards.toArray();
})
};
}
Note re ts part:
#Input is used to get the list of cards
we leverage #Output to emit choices by the user
we use #ViewChildren to keep track of the stack of cards
card is only actually removed (array.shift()) when the transition is finished (transition end event)
the component itself is hidden in case it has no cards in the stack, idea is that we show this component from a page component for example by referencing an array that can contain cards
Hopefully, this is a good example of how such component can be implemented
