# Story 10.1: Fix Mobile Drag & Drop Interfering with Scroll

Status: review

## Story

As a **mobile user**,
I want **to be able to scroll through my notes without accidentally triggering drag & drop**,
so that **I can browse my notes naturally and intuitively**.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** a user is viewing notes on a mobile device,
2. **When** the user scrolls up or down,
3. **Then** the system should:
   - Allow smooth scrolling without triggering drag & drop
   - Only enable drag & drop with a long-press or specific drag handle
   - Prevent accidental note reordering during normal scrolling
   - Maintain good UX for both scrolling and drag & drop

## Tasks / Subtasks

- [x] Investigate current drag & drop implementation
  - [x] Check which library is used (likely Muuri or react-dnd)
  - [x] Identify touch event handlers
  - [x] Document current drag threshold/timing
  - [x] Find where scroll vs drag is determined
- [x] Implement long-press for drag on mobile
  - [x] Add delay (600ms) to dragStartPredicate for mobile devices
  - [x] Detect mobile/touch devices reliably
  - [x] Configure Muuri with appropriate delay for mobile
- [x] Test drag & scroll behavior on mobile
  - [x] Normal scrolling → no drag triggered (test created)
  - [x] Long-press (600ms) → drag enabled (test created)
  - [x] Cancel drag → smooth scrolling resumes (test created)
#  - [ ] Test on iOS and Android (manual testing required)

## Dev Notes

### Bug Description

**Problem:** On mobile devices, scrolling through notes accidentally triggers drag & drop, making it difficult or impossible to scroll naturally.

**User Quote:** "Il faut appuyer fort sur la note pour la déplacer sinon on ne peut pas scroller" (Need to press hard on note to move it otherwise can't scroll)

**Expected Behavior:**
- Normal scrolling works smoothly without triggering drag
- Drag & drop is intentional (long-press or drag handle)
- Clear visual feedback when drag mode is active
- Easy to cancel drag mode

**Current Behavior:**
- Scrolling triggers drag & drop accidentally
- Difficult to scroll through notes
- Poor mobile UX
- User frustration

### Technical Requirements

**Current Implementation Investigation:**

Check for these libraries in `package.json`:
- `muuri` - Likely current library (seen in PRD FR5)
- `react-beautiful-dnd`
- `react-dnd`
- `@dnd-kit`
- Custom drag implementation

**Files to Investigate:**
```bash
# Find drag & drop implementation
grep -r "muuri\|drag\|drop" keep-notes/components/
grep -r "useDrag\|useDrop" keep-notes/
grep -r "onTouchStart\|onTouchMove" keep-notes/components/
```

**Expected Files:**
- `keep-notes/components/NotesGrid.tsx` or similar
- `keep-notes/components/Note.tsx` or `NoteCard.tsx`
- `keep-notes/hooks/useDragDrop.ts` (if exists)

### Solution Approaches

**Approach 1: Long-Press to Drag (Recommended)**

```typescript
// keep-notes/hooks/useLongPress.ts
import { useRef, useCallback } from 'react'

export function useLongPress(
  onLongPress: () => void,
  ms: number = 600
) {
  const timerRef = useRef<NodeJS.Timeout>()
  const isLongPressRef = useRef(false)

  const start = useCallback(() => {
    isLongPressRef.current = false
    timerRef.current = setTimeout(() => {
      isLongPressRef.current = true
      onLongPress()
      // Haptic feedback on mobile
      if (navigator.vibrate) {
        navigator.vibrate(50)
      }
    }, ms)
  }, [onLongPress, ms])

  const clear = useCallback(() => {
    if (timerRef.current) {
      clearTimeout(timerRef.current)
    }
  }, [])

  return {
    onTouchStart: start,
    onTouchEnd: clear,
    onTouchMove: clear,
    onTouchCancel: clear,
    isLongPress: isLongPressRef.current
  }
}

// Usage in NoteCard component
function NoteCard({ note }) {
  const [isDragging, setIsDragging] = useState(false)
  const longPress = useLongPress(() => {
    setIsDragging(true)
  }, 600)

  return (
    <div
      {...longPress}
      style={{ cursor: isDragging ? 'grabbing' : 'default' }}
    >
      {/* Note content */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

**Approach 2: Drag Handle (Alternative)**

```typescript
// Add drag handle to note card
function NoteCard({ note }) {
  return (
    <div className="relative">
      {/* Drag handle - only visible on touch devices */}
      <button
        className="drag-handle"
        aria-label="Drag to reorder"
        // Drag events only attached to this element
      >
        ⋮⋮
      </button>

      {/* Note content - no drag events */}
      <div className="note-content">
        {/* ... */}
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

// CSS
.drag-handle {
  display: none; // Hidden on desktop
  position: absolute;
  top: 8px;
  right: 8px;
  padding: 8px;
  cursor: grab;
}

@media (hover: none) and (pointer: coarse) {
  .drag-handle {
    display: block; // Show on touch devices
  }
}
```

**Approach 3: Touch Threshold with Scroll Detection**

```typescript
// Detect scroll vs drag intent
function useTouchDrag() {
  const startY = useRef(0)
  const startX = useRef(0)
  const isDragging = useRef(false)

  const onTouchStart = (e: TouchEvent) => {
    startY.current = e.touches[0].clientY
    startX.current = e.touches[0].clientX
    isDragging.current = false
  }

  const onTouchMove = (e: TouchEvent) => {
    if (isDragging.current) return

    const deltaY = Math.abs(e.touches[0].clientY - startY.current)
    const deltaX = Math.abs(e.touches[0].clientX - startX.current)

    // If moved more than 10px, it's a scroll, not a drag
    if (deltaY > 10 || deltaX > 10) {
      // Allow scrolling
      return
    }

    // Otherwise, might be a drag (wait for threshold)
    if (deltaY < 5 && deltaX < 5) {
      // Still in drag initiation zone
    }
  }

  return { onTouchStart, onTouchMove }
}
```

### Recommended Implementation

**Combination Approach (Best UX):**
1. **Default:** Normal scrolling works
2. **Long-press (600ms):** Activates drag mode with haptic feedback
3. **Visual feedback:** Card lifts/glow when drag mode active
4. **Drag handle:** Also available as alternative
5. **Easy cancel:** Touch anywhere else to cancel drag mode

**Haptic Feedback:**
```typescript
// Vibrate when long-press detected
if (navigator.vibrate) {
  navigator.vibrate(50) // Short vibration
}

// Vibrate when dropped
if (navigator.vibrate) {
  navigator.vibrate([30, 50, 30]) // Success pattern
}
```

### Testing Requirements

**Test on Real Devices:**
- iOS Safari (iPhone)
- Chrome (Android)
- Firefox Mobile (Android)

**Test Scenarios:**
1. Scroll up/down → smooth scrolling, no drag
2. Long-press note → drag mode activates
3. Drag note to reorder → works smoothly
4. Release note → drops in place
5. Scroll after drag → normal scrolling resumes

**Performance Metrics:**
- Long-press delay: 500-700ms
- Haptic feedback: <50ms
- Drag animation: 60fps

### Mobile UX Best Practices

**Touch Targets:**
- Minimum 44x44px (iOS HIG)
- Minimum 48x48px (Material Design)

**Visual Feedback:**
- Highlight when long-press starts
- Show "dragging" state clearly
- Shadow/elevation changes during drag
- Smooth animations (no jank)

**Accessibility:**
- Screen reader announcements
- Keyboard alternatives for non-touch users
- Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`
