Thomas KräftnerToday I'm looking over the fence to see what our #Drupal friends are up to these days at #DrupalDevDays #DDD23
First impression before the first talk: I am so spoiled by the #WordPress community when it comes to diversity. 😱
First talk/keynote: "Keynote: Keeping Drupal competitive on the modern web"
At a #WordCamp I'd expect a keynote of that title to be high level and focusing on features and UX. Here: Hard tech.
As a dev myself: Not against it, just a very different experience. Also, to be fair it is probably called Drupal *Developer* Days for a reason. 😀

Next talk: "Automatic Updates!".
Something we've had for a long time in #WordPress. But interesting to see how #Drupal manages it with seemingly much more diverse technical setups, the need to run composer etc. Also interesting what was done to secure the supply chain: https://theupdateframework.io/ https://github.com/php-tuf

And before I run off for today: "They come from the Future (frontend stuff)" This is the kind of stuff why it makes sense to visit related webdev conferences since we all share the HTML/CSS/JS tech stuff. That one was very interesting! slides: https://textformer.de/ddd23/
Back at #DDD23 with "Structured content within CKEditor 5. Do we still need paragraphs?" Since structured content is somewhat a pet peeve of mine ( https://wordpress.tv/2016/07/01/thomas-kraftner-your-content-is-trapped-how-a-proper-content-architecture-can-save-it/ ) this sounds interesting, let's see 😀
Thomas Kräftner: Your content is trapped – How a proper content architecture can save it
Face it, a lot of great content is trapped in pages and an amorphous post content field. Looking at an example project we’ll see how a clean content structure can simplify content management and ge…
Feeling very strong #WordPress block editor vibes here. To me the ideas sound like someone came up with a lot of core concepts of the block editor seemingly independently. Really funny to see convergence of ideas. 😃
Okay I wasn' t the only one, somebody else asked how this compares to Gutenberg. 😁
The speaker hadn't looked at it, but said he will. The thing I like about all of this is that when people end up with similar solutions for similar problems it usually validates the solution.
