[UI/UX Design] Design a Dashboard widget rearrangement UI #395

Description

@greatest0fallt1me

Description

Dashboard widget order is fixed. Design a rearrangement mode where users drag widgets to reorder or resize (S/M/L), with a keyboard-accessible move affordance and a reset default.

Requirements and context

  • Must be accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), responsive, and documented in the design system
  • Should be consistent with existing patterns and easy to review
  • Relevant code: src/pages/Dashboard.tsx
  • Provide keyboard move (Up/Down/Left/Right) as drag-drop alternative

Suggested execution

  • Fork the repo and create a branch
  • git checkout -b uiux/dashboard-widget-rearrange
  • Implement changes
    • Design an "Edit layout" mode toggle with save/cancel
    • Add drag handles, size chips, and keyboard move
    • Persist layout per user with reset default
  • Validate accessibility and responsive assumptions

Test and commit

  • Run checks
    • npm run lint and component/visual tests
  • Cover edge cases
    • Empty layout, single-widget layouts, RTL, screen-reader move
  • Include screenshots/before-after and accessibility (axe) notes

Example commit message
