After figuring out how to make the coordinates work, it's so satisfying to use a live-updating drag and drop that previews where the dropped content will go.

Some quirks: writing automated tests for this was hard since the drag and drop is done at the system level. I found a super hacky way to do so by interleaving normal Compose testing utilities and raw MotionEvents injected with UiAutomation.

Also Coil right now doesn't work well with the default drag decoration for Modifier.dragAndDropSource, which is unfortunate since dragging images seems like use case #1 for drag and drop. I think I have a decent workaround though: github.com/coil-kt/coil...
