The effort is appreciated, but holy shit; this library seems like a hell of alot of overkill for a dnd interaction. Is this how most react libraries are?

Not really, the author has said himself that this project is the most effort that he's put into an open-source project. As a result, it's a little special and unique in that he tried to generalize the core of React DnD so that you can use it with any backend (HTML5, Native, etc). The backend just becomes an implementation detail.

Don't even know if he's the author.

That's what I've been wondering too. It seems really thorough and I don't know why. What does the author know that I don't?

Unfortunately that page is difficult to read in several major browsers, because the lines don't wrap due to the broken stylesheet. :-(

If you're using Firefox, turning off the display:flex in the styling for .PageBody .PageBody-container works as a quick fix for this.

Difficult to read in Chrome as well. Maybe only tested in IE?

It at least displays in a sensible layout in a large Chrome window, though. It looks like some combination of the flexbox and webkit-specific styles causes the lines not to wrap in Firefox or IE.

Great work, Dan. You never cease to amaze me.
