Slide to Confirm

This is a custom card for Home Assistant designed to prevent accidental button presses by requiring the user perform a successful sliding action from left to right to trigger a service.

Use case: You have a button that can remotely unlock your front door, but you most likely don't have an automated method to close the door if it was opened accidentally. Slide to Confirm requires that you slide the indicator across the card to perform an action.

This is quite rudimentary and was created for my own needs, but I'm happy to share it with the community and incorporate any improvements you want to add through pull requests.
