I've been listening to the Talking Drupal podcast for years. In episode #534, I found myself on the other side of the microphone, talking about Webhaven, Drupal Canvas, and building Drupal sites faster without sacrificing quality.
Some moments feel so surreal that you need to pause for a second to fully take them in.
I've been a listener of the Talking Drupal podcast for years. It's one of those constants in the Drupal ecosystem: thoughtful conversations about architecture, tooling, community, and where Drupal is heading next. And then suddenly, I was the guest. 🎙️
In episode #534, I had the opportunity to share the story behind Webhaven.
Webhaven started from scratching my own itch and perhaps a frustration many Drupal developers and teams will recognize.
Every new Drupal project often feels like starting from scratch, even though the underlying requirements are remarkably similar.
In the episode, we talked about:
No shortcuts. No magic. Just deliberate, well-considered decisions.
We also went deeper into the technical side of Webhaven:
A significant part of the conversation focused on Drupal Canvas, the new page builder within Webhaven, and how it aims to balance flexibility with structure, without turning content editing into chaos.
We also touched on AI, not as a buzzword, but as something that can add real value when applied thoughtfully and in the right places.
What made this experience special for me wasn't just the experience and the conversation but the shift in perspective.
Sitting on the other side of the microphone of a podcast I've listened to for so long was genuinely surreal.
It was one of those moments where you realize a project has grown beyond an idea in your own head.
Huge thanks to the Talking Drupal team for the open and enjoyable conversation.
