PS: I am aware of jupyter dashboard but it does not provide what I really want.

That's pretty neat @hainm. Does the code for these examples live somewhere?

Hi @jakirkham

You need to install development version of nglview

git clone https://github.com/arose/nglview
cd nglview
python -m pip install .

then issue below in your bash terminal

nglview demo # this will open a Jupyter notebook with demo command

then choose Extra button then play with drag/drop stuff.

PS: nglview does not work with ipywidget >= 5.0 yet and it works well with ipywidgets==4.1.1 and notebook 4.1

I don't think that we will allow that in ipywidgets. Although in jupyter lab, output areas should become draggable jupyterlab/jupyterlab#424

However, jupyterlab does not support custom widgets yet. We are working on it.
