This is neat. However, I use the dock for dragging/dropping so it doesn't help me.

I detest the TouchBar and think it's one of the worst ideas to come out of Apple in a long time. I'm waiting for them to end this joke.

The return to PCIe convinced me Apple gets some response to feedback.

I have a mbp 13" 2018 and as most. The touchbar is the most unused feature (vs sdcard slot they've ditched for example).

However since the conversation here is about this app. It's the best dock on touchbar I've seen so far and it's open source. So it might not be that hard allowing some drag and drop.

With that said, I've installed pock this morning but with auto-hidden dock it feels that I don't waste so much screen real estate for the dock.

The main problem of the touchbar and any screen with touch is the fact you must engage your sight to it. Physical "static" devices avoids that (keyboard...) So the touchbar at least for me, breaks productivity vs engaging to it.

It's also quite an expensive joke that consumers pay for. Hundreds of dollars equivalent extra in price for this "feature."
The non-touchbar version has 2 fewer USB-C ports inexplicably. So they're paying for the touchbar and 2 extra ports, all in all.
