Hi Retoolers! :wave:

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on—a custom drag-and-drop component for Retool! :rocket:

With this component, you can:
:white_check_mark: Easily rearrange items visually.
:white_check_mark: Simplify workflows with intuitive drag-and-drop functionality.
:white_check_mark: Enhance your Retool apps with just a few tweaks.

It’s fully customizable and fits seamlessly into your Retool projects. Perfect for anyone building apps that need dynamic user interaction.

If this sounds like something you’d find helpful, let me know! I’d be happy to share more details or guide you through the setup. :blush:

Looking forward to your feedback!

That looks great! We've been looking for a good way to drag and drop orders into different statuses for quite some time.

This is awesome, @Almopt! :rocket: The drag-and-drop functionality opens up so many possibilities for dynamic app interactions in Retool.

A couple of questions:
:one: Does the component support nested drag-and-drop (e.g., rearranging items within groups)?
:two: Are there any specific performance considerations for handling a large number of items?

We at Widle love experimenting with custom components, and this one looks like a game-changer for building more intuitive apps. Would love to try it out and explore potential use cases with you! :blush:

You can also check out Hackathon participation with @ZeroCodez a Client Collaboration, Redefined: Our Retool + Weavy Hackathon Masterpiece. It’s a great space where we could potentially collaborate with your idea to build something even more powerful for project management.

We are Looking forward to connecting and exploring this further!

HI @Almopt, we are evaluating several platforms currently and an out of the box Kanban component is a hard requirement for us, would love to try out the custom component when it's ready, cheers!
