Is there a gesture plugin on mobile to open Sidebar?

Even i have already moved my sidebar to the left. I found it difficult to open it by clicking the button on the top left.

Mobile first today.

hi not a direct answer
i had the same issue
i got around this problem by using nico’s notebook theme
as far as i understand it, the notebook theme overrides the normal sidebar
$:/core/ui/PageTemplate/sidebar
then makes a new sidebar button in the top/bottom bar
you could add that button in your existing bottom bar and inside your open sidebar
in particular $:/themes/nico/notebook/ui/Buttons/menu
contains

<$reveal state="$:/state/notebook-sidebar" type="match" text="yes" default="no" retain="yes" animate="no">
  <$button set="$:/state/notebook-sidebar" setTo="no" tooltip="Toggle menu" class="tc-btn-invisible sidebar-toggle open">
    {{$:/themes/nico/notebook/images/bars}}
  </$button>
</$reveal>

<$reveal type="nomatch" state="$:/state/notebook-sidebar" text="yes">
  <$button set="$:/state/notebook-sidebar" setTo="yes" tooltip="Toggle menu" class="tc-btn-invisible sidebar-toggle">
    {{$:/themes/nico/notebook/images/bars}}
  </$button>
</$reveal>

not sure if it would be easier to hide the normal sidebar button using css?
i went from the theme to start with (e.g. makiaea.org) so have not explored that option
nico has some nice css animating the button at the end of
$:/themes/nico/notebook/base
(note for beginners reading this comment) i had to discard some of the other css in that tiddler as it interfered with some of my css

Material theme by JD had this feature …swipe to show and hide the sidebar…you will have to disable default gesture based navigation in Android for this to work. It was based on hammer widgets
