## What it is
A tiny, dependency-free React component library for vertical drag-and-drop reordering of lists and tables. It is accessible with full keyboard and screen reader support, works on touch devices, and weighs under 4kB gzipped.

## Use cases
- reorder items in a React list by dragging
- sortable table rows in React
- accessible drag and drop with keyboard support
- drag-to-reorder task list on mobile
- reorderable playlist or queue UI
- sortable list with varying item heights

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, dependency-free drag-and-drop for vertical lists or tables
- accessibility (keyboard and screen reader) is a requirement
- you want full control over markup and styling, including CSS-in-JS
- you need touch support and autoscrolling while dragging

## When to avoid
- you need horizontal or multi-directional (grid) dragging
- you need complex multi-container or cross-list drag and drop
- you are not using React
- you need nested draggable items or tree structures
