About Geffrey van der Bos

Driven by quiet rebellion and stubborn curiosity, I wander into systems and ask, “what if?” I design software to help people navigate financial stress and I’m obsessed with music. Husband to Illustrator Julia and guardian of Loki the Shiba Inu.
We were already sitting on the three-finger drag on phones. Why not recycle it for desktop? And let's not force people to click a teeny-tiny bullet to drag the whole thing.
Modifier key pressed and drag. Easy-peasy. You can hold it or press once and drag. Whichever floats your boat.
And touchpad users will be happy to feel the clicks between the rows for extra tactility. Lifted straight from Figma their layer rearranging. Because good artists steal and stuff.
