In A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component libraryWe're actually in between drag and drop libs at the moment. We currently use react-beautiful-dnd [0], but it has some major shortcomings and doesn't feel very well maintained. That being said, it's a pretty impressive lib that probably works for a lot of people as-is.
We've got a branch where we've switched to dndkit [1] which I like a lot - really nice API with hooks for everything. However, it has some annoying bugs that mean we can't quite switch yet. That being said it seems like the one that's hanging us up the most is nearly fixed [2].

In Launch HN: Kitemaker (YC W21) – Fast alternative to Jira, built for remote teamsNot sure how similar it is, but react-beautiful-dnd is pretty nice. https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd
In Show HN: A cool Drag-and-Drop implementation for SvelteIf your list is one-dimensional (not a grid), this should meet your requirements: https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd
In Ask HN: Modern, accessible draggable list?While it is maintained by Atlassian, I found this react library really useful for making customized Trello boards for myself https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd
Creating cards that made sense for my use case was fun... I was going to play with adding a card type that I could work on to create notes with my apple pencil, a bit like postit notes... Anyway, a silly side project for me I guess, but worth a look if you're heavily invested in Kanban format
In Wekan: Open-source, trello-like kanbanThank you! We built it ourselves in React, though we used the styled-components and react-beautiful-dnd packages for building the components and helping with the dragging functionality.

2 points · Open discussionNice tool. Some feedback: The drag and drop functionality has some accessibility issues: it works with a mouse, but not keyboard navigation. This interface would be difficult to use with mobility issues: moving items requires fine-grained gesture control.
If you're interested in an accessible implementation of drag and drop, here's one I've encountered that does an excellent job:

In Show HN: I made a mind map tool meant for large, detailed node hierarchiesSome related experience:
At Blackboard we developed yet another DnD library only because existing react solutions were not accessible - https://github.com/blackboard/react-dnd-ax . But unfortunately it is not quite "performant".
Since then I found another promising library which while not fully accessible, provides great deal of keyboard interaction (last time I checked it in February - library is under very active development) - https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd
We are still on a lookout for well performing solution for react, yet fully accessible..
