			<h1>JavaScript Drag and Drop</h1>

			<p>The standard HTML drag and drop API is a disgusting mess, as one would expect from modern standards.  But here modern programmers have managed to reach a new low.  This API doesn't work at all on mobile, making it completely useless.</p>

			<p>There are a number of third party JavaScript drag and drop libraries like <a href="https://interactjs.io/">interact.js</a> and <a href="https://draggabilly.desandro.com/">Draggabilly</a>.  Of course these don't work, since they are modern code.  interact.js is the least bad of them, but its drop functionality breaks if you modify the DOM.</p>

			<p>Writing a decent JavaScript drag and drop library shouldn't be hard for a reactionary programmer.  And I would use it for a number of projects.</p>
