Enhancing the Drupal Author Experience.

Geysir introduces several user interface optimisations which support content authors in their daily workflow. Initially, focus lies on the page building process: Geysir depends on the excellent Paragraphs module and currently supports the following features:

Insertion of new paragraphs using a modal dialog
Editing of separate paragraphs in a modal dialog
Deletion of separate paragraphs from the front-end

When editing page content, the modal interface reduces the need for authors to switch to the Drupal backend constantly. Furthermore, there is no more need to dig around in the backend to find the correct paragraph to edit, as Geysir provides controls for editing and deletion per paragraph straight from the front-end.

These powerful features can greatly speed up the work of content authors and make their workflow more intuitive.

Roadmap and the way forward

To make sure Geysir stays relevant, to increase community adoption and to ensure bugs are crushed in time, we worked on a plan to have a more structural approach to maintaining and advancing the module, consisting of 3 main pillars:

Make sure Geysir gets more stable by ensuring RTBC bug fixes are regularly merged into the Geysir develop branch.
Pledge: 7 calendar days after RTBC status is reached
Make sure our vision for Geysir is maintained by regularly gardening the project issue queue and making sure to give feedback and input on the various active discussion threads.
Pledge: twice every month
Make sure an up-to-date version of Geysir is available by regularly releasing stable version of the module.
Pledge: twice every year (aligned with Drupal core minor versions)

Release calendar 2020
