## What it is
A React Native FlatList component with built-in drag-and-drop reordering, powered by Reanimated and React Native Gesture Handler for fully native interactions. It exposes a FlatList-compatible API with drag callbacks and placeholder rendering.

## Use cases
- reorderable todo or task lists in React Native
- sortable playlist or queue screens
- drag-to-reorder settings or preference lists
- kanban-style card ordering within a list
- long-press drag sorting of list items with native gestures

## When to choose
- you need performant drag-and-drop reordering in a React Native FlatList
- you want native-feeling gestures via Reanimated and Gesture Handler
- you want a drop-in FlatList-compatible API

## When to avoid
- your project does not use react-native-reanimated and react-native-gesture-handler
- you need swipe-to-dismiss rather than drag-to-reorder
- you are building for web without React Native
