Drop a node in or under another node depending on cursor position

Explain the problem as you see it

Current nodes movement via mouse is very limited.

Why is this a problem for you?

It slows my workflows a lot.

Suggest a solution

Result of dropping a node under another node which depends on the horizontal position it is dropped:

  1. on another node or right under it, more to the left = as a sibling located under that node
  2. on another node or right under it, more to the right = as a child, inside that node.

It is well implemented in Workflowy:

I'd also really like to see this implemented. In my mind, it is a basic feature of an outliner. I can't think of any other outliner apps that do not support this. It is the single thing that makes me not want to switch from Workflowy to Tana, as it introduces so much unnecessary friction while structuring your thinking.
