Request for update: Maintenance status of react-draggable

[antosha-85seequent]

As part of our company's dependency policy, we prioritize using actively maintained and not stale libraries. We've been relying on react-draggable, but it appears to lack ongoing maintenance. I’ve noticed a backlog of unresolved issues and minimal activity in the repository.

• My main question is: Will this library continue to be maintained? This is especially important given the issues with React 19, such as the deprecated findDOMNode method.

It’s surprising to see this situation for a library with millions of weekly downloads.

• If maintenance is no longer planned, it would be helpful to hear from other users about alternative libraries they use. Please note that react-dnd seems to face similar concerns, as it hasn’t been updated in over three years, making it an even less viable option.

Thanks!

@antosha-85seequent note that findDOMNode can be fixed by passing a nodeRef as mentioned here

If it's company policy to prioritize actively maintained libraries, it might be best to pay for a support contract (which helps out the community in the meantime).

I'm not sure it is. It's not like those downloads pay for maintenance.

I am getting at it when I can. AI agents help. Feel free to open PRs and ping me and I will likely merge them in a reasonable timeframe.
