WCStackNavigationController - Based on UINavigationController

It's not a UINavigationController replacement. It's a slide menu like facebook, just uses nav controller as inspiration, to make creating slide menus, that are all the rage, easier to setup use and dictate what goes on your navigation list. I will work on a better screen shot, but there isn't much for a screen shot to show. It also uses iOS containment as well.
There's no motivation here to why I, as an iOS developer, would want to use this over UINavigationController. What makes it better? What problem does it solve? The one screenshot it has looks terrible.
I agree the screen shot he used is terrible. Take a look at Path if you have the app. When you tap the Add Friends button in the top right the main view controller slides over to the left, but not all the way. About 20 px remain on the screen. It's a nice effect becaause it gives the user a feeling that they are still "on" the main screen, just tweaking some settings in this underlying part. The transition to settings is less jarring.
There's also https://github.com/pkluz/ZUUIRevealController
which implements iOS5 containment, and i think they ported it over to ios4
