cool selection.

i used react-beautiful-dnd in the past and probably still in some legacy code somewhere but for new projects, better go with something like github.com/clauderic/dnd-kit.

react-beautiful-dnd is no longer maintained

I have an another package that you would love to add in your list:

React18-input-otp

A fully customizable, one-time password (OTP) and phone number with separator input component for the web built with React. Tested on Web, Android, and iOS. This package supports all react versions.

beautiful-dnd is not being actively maintained anymore

Now the hottest lib for this is dnd-kit

Someone already mentioned react-query, tanstack-table is also amazing - especially if you arent purely working in react. Headless tables - so bring your own framework.

Lot of gems listed here!

I thought all sliders/ carousels are kinda deprecated because of accessibility concerns. Was thinking a library like...oh say Redux would be something should at least know of as a react developer...

It’s a shame that react-pdf-viewer requires a license, do you know about any good alternatives?
