Tier: Core polish · Order: 16 of 35 · Effort: M · Impact: high

What

While dragging, a clear line shows exactly where the block will land and the receiving container glows. Empty containers say “Drop here”.

Why

The #1 thing that makes editors feel clunky (Webflow, Framer, Bricks, Gutenberg, Divi 5). Users' #3 complaint is unpredictable drag and drop.

Today

Craft.js default thin bar.

Design notes

Keep Craft's drop logic; replace only the visual with an overlay that reads the indicator placement.

Depends on

None

From the 2026-10-07 site-builder research (competitor review, user sentiment, code audit, Fable prioritization). Roadmap: https://claude.ai/artifact/QpQcSCk21z6SN7LPSm8tKE · id drop-indicator
