I haven’t been following development very closely this year, but I took a look at some recent demo videos and was struck with the how much convergence there seems to be in the user interface between Figma, Webflow, and XB/Canvas. This makes a lot of sense to me, insofar as we want new users to be greeted with interfaces and concepts that are familiar and widespread. What will ultimately differentiate Canvas from Webflow?

I’ve been finding it increasingly challenging to position Drupal with clients when WordPress tends to feel more stable in comparison. The Drupal 7 → 8 migration was already a tough sell for some clients, and now the CKEditor 4 → 5 migration feels like another uphill climb.
Many of the CKEditor ecosystem modules (Linkit, CKEditor Templates, etc.) have taken a long time to fully catch up, and some are still buggy. On top of that, core and contributed modules often need patches to work as expected, and sometimes updates introduce new issues rather than resolving them.
I’d love to hear how others approach this:
How do you frame Drupal’s value when clients are frustrated by bugs and regressions?
What strategies do you use to maintain stability and client confidence? Testing my own custom code is one thing, but I expect contributed modules to do this for themselves. I guess that’s a wrong assumption. Having a dev, staging, and production site are good too, but they only go so far for the sneaky regressions that make their way into a live site.
Do you think we could move toward stronger automated testing for contrib, maybe even with AI to help increase coverage?
Is anyone else a little weary of CKEditor at this point? It’s surprising that in 2025 we still don’t have a truly smooth WYSIWYG experience in Drupal. It reminds me of the growing pains we had with media in early Drupal 8.
Sep 15, 17:20 UTC Resolved - From 14:29 to 16:01 UTC, our Engineering team identified an issue with the Droplet Create page in our Cloud Control Panel. During this time, users would have experienced issues with accessing the Droplet Create page at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/new. Our team has fully resolved the issues, and as of 16:01 UTC, all services are operating normally.

This follows up a previous post "Duplicating a D7 site's front page layout in D11, DXPR theme" but I'm trying to focus the question better. I need a FRONT page structure having: -- a top region containing a banner graphic -- menu region for main menu of 7 items with dropdowns -- big region displaying a cycling slideshow of photo images -- secondary menu region for a 4-item menu with "mega menu" (multiple column) dropdowns -- main content area in an approximate 1/3-2/3, 2-column structure -- footer region containing a banner graphic
Then a BASIC page structure for other pages having: -- same top region -- same main menu region -- main content area in an approximate 1/3-2/3, 2-column structure -- footer region containing a banner graphic
Given that goal, what theme or starting theme would probably be best to get there? I have tried to use the DXPR theme but frankly, I'm not understanding how to get what's desired from it. The old D7 site was not responsive. I need the new version to have that, but also want to have a fixed width within the range of desktop screen dimensions. -- Thanks --
Houses is mostly just address, name - that's it. Flyers contains media field to upload files and a reference to a house.
So 1 House : n Flyers - Relationship.
Now, I'd like to use the API to retrieve all Flyers with a certain House ID. I've got the ID, I can see all the Flyers via Postman, when I GET URL/jsonapi/node/flyer and I can see inside each flyer:
"errors": [ { "title": "Bad Request", "status": "400", "detail": "Invalid nested filtering. The field `relationships`, given in the path `relationships.field_house.data.id`, does not exist.",
Sep 12, 19:33 UTC Resolved - Our Engineering team has confirmed the full resolution of the issue with the upstream provider. Users should now be able to deploy to App Platform and manage their Spaces Buckets as normal.
If you continue to experience problems, please open a ticket with our support team. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sep 12, 19:14 UTC Monitoring - Our Engineering team has identified that the ongoing issue with the upstream provider is also impacting DigitalOcean Spaces. They continue to monitor the ongoing issue with the upstream provider impacting DigitalOcean Spaces and App Platform services.
Improvements are being seen with lower error rates and latency for App Platform deployments as well as for fetching Spaces endpoints.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will share further updates in the due course.
Sep 12, 18:54 UTC Investigating - Our Engineering team is aware of an upstream provider issue that is causing impact to some DigitalOcean services. More details are being gathered.
At this time, users may experience delayed App Platform deployments.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide another update as soon as possible.
Sep 15, 12:00 UTC Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Sep 15, 10:00 UTC In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Sep 12, 11:02 UTC Scheduled - Start: 2025-09-15 10:00 UTC End: 2025-09-15 12:00 UTC
During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the NYC1 region.
Expected impact:
While no service disruption is expected during the scheduled maintenance window, there is a low risk of hardware failure associated with the activity. In such a scenario, customers may experience brief interruptions to network traffic within the affected region. If triggered, our Engineering teams will respond immediately to isolate and mitigate the impact.
If you have any questions related to this issue, please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

I am running a multisite environment (70+ sites) where some sites need to have the same "ribbon menu" above my main navigation. I currently have one theme and would like to keep it that way.
How can I add a "checkbox" to my theme settings that, if checked, will insert a specific twig file in a region. Otherwise, that twig file is not inserted.
I was able to do something similar in D7, but can't figure out how to do it in D8/10 and Drupal's documentation isn't very clear.
