Hi welcome to the forum. What actually do you mean in regards to drag and drop?

There has only been a limited public reveal by @norm to this point concerning features Blocs 3 will have. He is mostly showing teasers via social media as he no doubt continues to prepare things for release.

@Eldar has kept up with these teasers and created a Blog article:

So its difficult for anyone to say concerning your inquiry, but he has mentioned things previously throughout the forum publicly as seen below if these are what you are speaking of?

@Norm

You’re forgetting one big factor. Your sites need to be responsive this day in age, Blocs may feel restricted and not free form, but that’s because it automatically handles a lot of the work so your site is responsive, meaning it looks great on any device.

Free form web design apps don’t really make this clear, but you could end up doing 10x the work to get your site looking right across all devices possibly more.

Blocs is more than a name, its a description of the paradigm for the app. Just like Lego, Blocs is not high fidelity.

I am working on a more simplistic way to move objects which is a little more free form but not on the level of a graphic editor. That will ship in the not so distant future.

Blocs is a compromise of creating decent responsive code and ease of use. Don’t be sucked in by ease of use wysiwyg unless the tool delivers on site code quality and responsive features.

How a site works for its visitors is far more important than how easy it is to create, especially if big compromises like the responsiveness of the site are made.

@Norm

Yes but is this responsive? Your design needs to look right on more than just a computer screen.

The most important thing is that sites are responsive, the freedom of movement comes in after that. My approach is a compromise that is a step closer, but it’s not going to let you place anything anywhere on the page.

@Norm

The free movement of objects in EW is great, but this is what effects EWs ability to create quality responsive code. This free movement of objects by hand is something I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and searching for a solution. My answer 6 months ago would have been ‘you either have one or the other, you can’t have free movement and keep the code quality’, however, that is no longer the case. But more on that next year

So it would appear there will be some level of improvement and new approaches based solely on those statements. But otherwise we will all have to wait in anticipation of Blocs 3. You can also follow the Blocs social media accounts to keep up to date with the latest teasers about Blocs 3 he reveals.

Hi @Petrunky

The above is all anyone knows at this point, we will need to wait and see.
