This is off topic a bit, and not a criticism of this library or its authors, but: I do think that DnD is bad for accessibility. Especially on mobile, where it's much harder to precisely click, so the deadzone required to distinguish a click from a drag has to be much larger. But whether it's on a mouse, trackpad, touchscreen, trackpoint, or other more esoteric system, it requires a muscle hold while doing a precise m…

To avoid strain and accuracy requirements, iOS (and I imagine Android) support Accessibility extensions targeting drag motions - See Accessibility/Touch/AssistiveTouch.

It seems fair to have the logical gesture of a drag be provided accessibility support on a per-device basis. To the extent that any UI library is written in terms of underlying mouse clicks and locations, it would interfere with that support. So the real question is whether the UI library support for DnD can be managed using device accessibility.

The funny thing about this is that they don’t use it in trello

Pragmatic drag and drop is already being used to power drag and drop for Trello boards. There is some sprinkling of other drag and drop interactions around Trello - which have moved, or are moving to, Pragmatic drag and drop.

Ah I must’ve been getting it confused with atlassians other drag n drop package.

I've got my hands pretty full with another project and unfortunately I don't use Twitter anymore since it became X. If you'd like, though, I can send an email to your quilt store's contact email (team@) and you can reply to that to tell me a bit more about what you're trying to do, and if I can give any genuinely useful suggestions as to how I would go about it, I will do so. But I realize technical advice != actual…

Can I inquire why you decided to jump ship on X? If something(s) changed there would you have stayed or would you return? By measurable account he's made the platform better overall, contrary to certain propaganda narrative talking points. He did of course make Twitter-X less of a bubble machine, which arguably is bad for society because then ideological mobs with certain unchallenged ideas or beliefs go unchallenged…

>he's made the platform better overall

is this a practical joke, or a double blind study on rage bait?

Hi all, I am one of the creators of Pragmatic drag and drop (and react-beautiful-dnd). Thanks for the post @NeilSmith2048! I have had a quick read over the comments on this thread, and here is some information that folks might find helpful: - The web platform has powerful built in drag and drop functionality. Sadly though, that functionality has historically difficult to be successful with due to bugs, inconsistencie…

I was initially pretty excited seeing this! It didn't last long though.

I found the documentation really hard to work through (no examples that don't require wading through hundreds of lines of JS/React, no API documentation?), and at the time I was looking, half the links were broken and the doc site was really, really slow.

The library says it works with any tech stack, but only lists JavaScript frameworks.

The reason we use SortableJS is because we don't have to rewrite the HTML manually as things get dragged around - from what I could glean, things like the placeholder drop line have to be added as part of your rendering template?
