I recorded a quick demo of the content editing experience on one of the #Drupal sites we created recently. This method provides visual previews without the technical and UX complexity of layout builder (or experience builder) and helps ensure an #accessible page structure by requiring headings for each section.

Open source update, #Drupal for #NixOS now has a new package updater script that picks the latest release from the Update Status XML API (https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/apis/update-status-xml), and the caddy webserver implementation that comes with the Drupal service will use HTTPS by default. You'll still need to install your own certs, however.

i feel like most people are seriously underusing markdown. it's not just for links and lists — it's a full-on superset of HTML!

here are a couple of my favorite favorite tricks:

1. inline SVGs! especially powerful with <symbol> and <use> tags

my workflow:
1. use an app like figma to create the graphics
2. save them to an external SVG file
3. slice them up into "components" in a text editor
4. combine them into customizable diagrams with an inline SVG *within the markdown*

What if your PHP functions could pause, resume, and remember where they left off, like little self-aware scripts? ⏯️

That’s what coroutines are for, and PHP gives you two tools to use them: Generators (since 5.5) and Fibers (in PHP 8.1).

🥔 🔥 I break it all down with real code, plus a hot potato metaphor you won’t forget:

Moldova and the EU – another step closer.

Today, we're proposing that Moldova joins our EU roaming family as of 1 January 2026, making it easier and more affordable than ever to travel, stay connected, and do business between 🇪🇺 and 🇲🇩.

Moldovans, get ready to say hello 📳 in 🇪🇺, at no extra cost.

În UE sunt acasă! 😊

Just in case #drupal hasn’t clued in on this yet:

You can’t put figma into your customer’s preferred dev pipeline. Figma wants to own the cms layer too. They’re officially competing with you.

Drupal needs to be innovating the entire website delivery pipeline. Including design.

The long-awaited beta releases for ECA 3, Modeler API 1 and BPMN.iO 3 are available now.

And the release notes are comprehensive:

ECA: 18 contributors and 75 issues resolved https://www.drupal.org/project/eca/releases/3.0.0-beta1

Modeler API: 4 contributors and 64 issues resolved https://www.drupal.org/project/modeler_api/releases/1.0.0-beta1

BPMN.iO: 10 contributors and 28 issues resolved https://www.drupal.org/project/bpmn_io/releases/3.0.0-beta1

Now is the time to give it a try.

Is it worth letting LLM makers crawl your site?

Cloudflare shares an interesting stat (for sites they host):
comparing crawler requests to browser requests referred from the vendor's site/app.

Eg, GoogleBot requests vs google.com referals (i.e. result served and clicked).

OpenAI and Perplexity are off the charts here, thousand to one.

Based on their poorly behaved crawlers, and their current low tendency to serve links - perhaps not?
