Using Dnd-Kit Basics
if you want to create draggable/droppable elements on your website one of the options available is Dnd-kit which is a modern drag-and-drop toolkit for React. Using it is fairly very easy, unless you end up on youtube where for some reason every one wants to make kanban boards with it and suddenly instead of learning how to use Dnd-kit now you are also dealing with the added complexity of a kanban board. So, I am just going to do a very simple and straightforward setup for Dnd-kit just going over how to use it and what we are doing.

Top 5 Drag-and-Drop Libraries for React
dnd-kit is a modern, lightweight toolkit for building drag-and-drop experiences in React. This library takes a unique approach because it doesn’t give you a pre-built DnD system—it's a framework you can use to build your own. This means you get full control over the DnD behavior, styling, and interactions, without being boxed into a rigid API. That flexibility is exactly why we decided to use it for Puck.

A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component library
dndkit seemed very promising, until I realized the state of development [0], and critical performance issues if you want to use it for larger lists (individual issues linked within [0]). So it's fine if you need to use it for simple scenarios and a smaller number of items, but otherwise, it's inadequate in current state, unfortunately...The fact that the post was in Aug 2023, perf. issues still remain and there's low activity on issues in general, doesn't bode well...
