If you want to build a responsive app with drag-and-drop editing, the best choice depends on what kind of app you mean:
Best overall options
- Flutter — great for building responsive mobile/web apps, but drag-and-drop editing is not built in; you’d need to create or integrate your own editor.
- React + React Flow / DnD Kit — a strong choice if you want a custom web app with drag-and-drop UI editing.
- Vue + Vue Draggable / SortableJS — good for simpler drag-and-drop interfaces.
- Retool / Bubble / Webflow — if you want a low-code/no-code drag-and-drop builder and faster development.
If you want a drag-and-drop app builder
Use:
- React for the app
- dnd-kit or react-beautiful-dnd for drag-and-drop
- Tailwind CSS or MUI for responsive layout
- Redux/Zustand for editor state
If you want the easiest path
- Bubble or FlutterFlow if you want to avoid coding much
- Webflow if it’s mostly a responsive web UI
- FlutterFlow if you want mobile + web with a visual editor
My recommendation
- For a custom web app editor: React + dnd-kit + Tailwind
- For mobile-first apps: FlutterFlow or Flutter
- For fastest no-code prototyping: Bubble
If you tell me whether you want web, mobile, or both, I can recommend the single best stack.
