It is about enriching and enlivening real world objects in the context of our human physiology. It is about facilitating non-traditional device interaction without sacrificing usability. Modern skeuomorphism is the bridge at the intersection of digital and industrial design. Whilst there may not be an obvious real-world counterpart to dragging digital cards around an interactive Kanban list, such as that of Trello, the action itself is familiar to humans, so it’s easy to learn. Skeuomorphism is where an object in software mimics its real world counterpart. This bit of skeuomorphism makes UIs with drag and drop interactions intuitive to use. It’s possible though! And, that’s the direction I’d head with it.Drag and drop, in the context of a web app, gives people a visual way to pick up and move elements just like we would in the real world. And, building out the logic to make sure that things execute in the right order based on however many items are in the RG. The trick for you will be to have a master data type that each of these items in the repeating group get linked to. (We’ve seen users go with this method to allow users to build custom forms. You could have conditional statements inside the repeating group’s cell to change how it looks and what’s displayed when each item is loaded all based on it’s type.

(ie is this a date picker, is this an input field etc). From there, your data structure might have a field for tracking the event item’s type. What you could do is have a data type that is event or event item. The most popular one is using a repeating group actually.

Hey for the post and cool idea! While Bubble doesn’t natively support a completely drag and drop interface builder, we’ve seem some unique ideas for how to work around this.
