drag and resize components

[Offbeatmammal]

would a .draggable() and .resizable() component be something that's in-scope for WebAwesome?

current solutions like jQueryUI and InteractJS handle some DOM elements fine, but struggle with others so having something that is consistent across div/svg/img/canvas etc and is accessible would be a big improvement.

It's not out of the question, but we'd need to spec out how it works exactly and see if it makes sense as a component. I've been wanting to explore this, so thanks for the suggestion!

My $0.02 if we do this to probably leverage something like https://github.com/atlassian/pragmatic-drag-and-drop to do the heavy lifting. Drag and drop is much harder than it seems, especially when you get into cross browser / cross device support

as I've been playing with this for a project I know it's non-trivial (hence hoping smarter people than me could come up with a solution!)
biggest challenges with the jQueryUI way is the clunky interface (only bottom right corner can be dragged on resize, vs Interact which act least allows handles on all sides and corners) and limitations/weirdness on some elements (eg jQueryUI image tag, .draggable has to be attached to a parent div and Interact just doesn't seem to want to play)
making it work smoothly with touch is also an interesting challenge
