Question about dnd-kit roadmap and recommended version (legacy vs next)

[Deanfei]

Hi @clauderic 👋

First, thanks a lot for the amazing work on dnd-kit — it’s been really valuable to the React community.

I’m currently evaluating dnd-kit for a new project, and I noticed there are two documentation sites:

Legacy (@dnd-kit/core / docs.dndkit.com
)

Next (next.dndkit.com
) which states “production ready” and recommends itself over the legacy version.

This left me a bit confused:

Is dnd-kit still being actively developed/maintained?

Which version do you recommend for production projects right now — the current @dnd-kit/core release, or the new “next” version?

What is the roadmap for “next”? Will it become the mainline/stable release soon?

If I start with the legacy version today, will migration to “next” be straightforward later?

Any guidance on which path to take would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Thanks for your time and for maintaining this project!

Highly recommend following next.dndkit.com as that is where I am investing all development efforts. It is production ready but some APIs may change in the future before the 1.0.0 release

Thanks for the confirmation.

@clauderic It seems the docs for React aren't working: https://next.dndkit.com/react/quickstart
Vanilla docs seem to be working fine. Looking forward to giving it a try once it's back online

Fixed, thanks for the heads up
