I couldn't see an easy way to indicate where in a list a dropped item will appear.
All of the examples show the element underneath the pointer being highlighted, which just looks weird because you aren't dropping one item on top of another. As a user, if I drop an item on top of another item, I don't know if the item I am dropping will appear above or below the item I dropped it on. Also, the hover effect just disappears when you are between items.
Most drag/drop libraries have some sort of indicator that shows where the dropped item will appear. Either a line between existing items, or a ghost item is preemptively added to the drop container with the others making space for it.
Is this functionality planned? As far as I can tell, the drop events don't contain enough information to implement this on top of your library.
