The thing that trips people up most isn't the module compatibility list — it's field data that technically migrates but silently loses formatting or reference integrity. Run a full content audit before you start, not just a module audit. Specifically check: paragraph/field collection nesting, any custom entity reference views, and URL alias patterns if you're on pathauto. Those three are where most "successful" migrations turn into a six-month cleanup project afterward.

I have an old Drupal 7 site that I can't seemingly migrate to drupal 11, Here's where I am at present:

I downloaded all the files from the existing site and created a ddev copy of the site with the same php version etc, the site renders and i can view all the nodes and such

I created a new ddev project running Drupal 11.4.4 and add a secondary db to that via ddev import-db --file=/home//Documents/Sites/sitename/databasename_2013.sql I also created .ddev/docker-compose.volumes.yaml so can mount the files etc from the drupal 7 site for the migration module as well as added the required modules that I used on the drupal 7 site if they existed

After running the migrate step via the extension Migrate Drupal UI I see that the images & users are imported in the new ddev Drupal 11 site, the images are too, but none of the nodes are done, I'm stumped on how to proceed now, I suspect the issue is related to multi languages as that site initially was drupal 6 and multi language enabled but not sure how to check now after all these years

I recently built a CRM it has a lot of the features and functions as an enterprise CRM. I was wondering if anyone might be in need of this that is willing to try it out at no cost to help me beta test it and build out more features and custom functions for your specific business. If you're interested please DM me and happy to jump on a call and explain more.

We have multiple SaaS products. Products and delivery are solid, but I'm wondering if hiring full-time AEs is premature.

My idea: offer independent sales operators 20% recurring rev share for the lifetime of each account instead of a salary. But I keep hearing that good closers won't touch commission-only deals.

For those who've done this where did you find these people? What's your experience?

Agency/reseller partners instead of individuals?
LinkedIn outreach?
And what terms actually made someone to commit to this?

Would love to hear what worked (or spectacularly didn't).

I'm looking for that super organized person who's moved a lot to test what I made and give me feedback so I can make it better. I built it, so full bias disclosure up front.

some context. I've always been a little confused why nobody uses CRMs for personal stuff. the need is clearly there... remembering birthdays, your friend's kids names, who just moved where, the interview you promised to ask about. but every CRM is structurally a pipeline. leads, stages, deals

so this year I built a personal CRM. friends and family, not sales. and to be clear about my goal: I'm NOT trying to scale this to everyone. I think there are maybe 1000 people out there who are this intentional about their relationships... the very organized person who wants every detail about their people in one place and to be reminded at the right time. I moved cities four times and that's exactly when your people scatter and the details start slipping. it's extremely niche and I think that's fine. The personal CRMs that came before (Monica, Dex, Clay) all seem to drift toward professional networking eventually because that's where the money is, and then the personal user is orphaned again.

what I did differently... input can be natural language. you type something like: met Jess at happy hour, nurse at NYU, just moved here from Nashville. and the contact builds itself. because no normal human will ever backfill 200 people into forms. (but you can also import your phone contacts as a starting point) the fields are personal life shaped too. pets, food preferences, how we met, check in reminders.

so if that's you... you've moved a bunch and your people are scattered across cities.. I would LOVE for you to try it and tell me what doesn't work. not what's nice about it. what's broken, what's missing, what you expected it to do that it doesn't. that feedback is worth more to me than any amount of signups.

it's called YourPond (YourPond.io) and there is a free version and a paid. and if you actually put it through its paces and come back with real feedback, I'll comp you the paid version as a thank you... I'm one person covering the bills so I can't do that for everyone, but genuine testers, absolutely. I'll be in the comments and I'd seriously love love love thoughts!
