Hey @bbx,

Appreciate the different approach to this user experience. I can certainly see it being a more user friendly way where pick and place and explicit actions, versus an accidental finger release on touch devices for example.

I think this has potential for accessibility, just at the moment your demo page has issues in certain cases.

(Different behaviour experienced on iOS 26.2 Safari vs commonly used WebView containers and/or websites masquerading as apps.

If you test the following (edge) cases in a webview. 1. Pick item One, try and move it down. You will find item Two goes along for the ride, and when you drop it, item One stays at the top and item Two is dropped instead. 2. No matter what I tried in the webview, I was unable to purposefully move an item to First or Last position.

Weirdly this doesn’t occur for me in dedicated safari.

I have looked at drag and drop libraries for use on mobile and feel your approach has the potential to be more intuitive, especially for the use cases I have.

Thanks for sharing a new approach.
