The Lounge What is on Your Mind? A Choice: Draggable Editors or Smilie Box on Quick Editor Post 303027003 by Neo on Thursday 6th of December 2018 11:17:34 PM

Hmm... I don't see any real benefit for having sections of the web site draggable using jQuery-UI except, perhaps, for the ability to drag the Quick Reply Editor (QRE) when composing a reply. Not sure if this "minor goodness" has much value compared to the added overhead of adding the relatively sizable jQuery-UI Javascript library. Of course, this is more code to maintain and another JS library to maintain.

I doubt anyone here will use "draggable" in any useful way. Will let this experiment run for a bit longer but I may turn it off sooner than later.

Better, I think, to add some VueJS - Bootstrap apps or components to the site.

Of some minor interest to note is that the jQuery-UI libs currently override the site's Bootstrap tooltips. These tooltips look good in some places and not so good in others, and also I'm having some trouble controlling the tooltip format (for example, getting rid of the shadow box) in the Advanced Stats. So, I'm not a huge fan of these jQuery-UI tooltips. This is another reason to remove the jQuery-UI libs from the site, sooner than later.

At this point in time, jQuery-UI seems more value-subtracted than value-added compared to other JS libs and frameworks.
