  1. 🎉 ECA for Drupal just crossed 20,000 active installations.

    Event - Condition - Action: a low-code automation system that lets you build workflows without writing custom modules.

    20,000 sites using it. The Drupal community keeps surprising me.

  3. RE: mastodon.social/@EUauditors/11

    Interesting publication, one quote.
    "In response, European data and AI policy will need to evolve. It must stop asking only who is allowed to hold which categories of data, and start asking what is allowed to be inferred from data, by whom, under what conditions, and with what disclosure to the subject. The shift is hard, because it requires regulating an action rather than an object; but that is the inescapable challenge we now face"

  5. I built documentation for humans. Machines read it 21x more.

    ECA Guide (ecaguide.org) is now machine-readable - MCP server, llms.txt, AI agent skill. Point an agent at it. Say "email author when content publishes." Agent reads docs, builds model, tokens correct first try.

    Last 6 months: ~244K machine visits vs ~11K human. 21x more.

    Pattern works for any complex Drupal system.

  7. "Aren't ECA, FlowDrop and Maestro just competing?"

    No. We write a shared orchestration design spec for Drupal, disagreeing in writing.

    One axis orders all three: how much state a run carries, and how long.

    ECA: stateless, reactive, huge reach.
    Maestro: durable, waits days for humans or sub-flows.
    FlowDrop: spans the axis, great for AI agents.

    Bridges are the start. The real goal: shared primitives, beyond Drupal's border.

  11. Building workflows blind? Not anymore.

    ECA's test, replay, and debug features: modeler listens, you trigger events, see execution results immediately. Token values at each step. Production replay with actual data.

    Widget on every page where ECA ran - click it, modeler opens in overlay, replay what just happened in context.

    No other CMS workflow tool does this. Not WordPress, Joomla, n8n, or Zapier at this level.

    Most-requested feature by existing users: visibility.

  15. ECA's in-context customization removes the learning curve. Lightning bolt appears next to form fields → click → select template → configure → done. No need to understand events, conditions, or tokens.

    For everyone: accessibility without compromise.
    For technical users: quick-start to full modeler.
    For agencies: core-quality UX without core timelines.

    Enable `eca_form` submodule to try it yourself.

  17. RE: mastodon.social/@sidj79/116618

    This probably explains the sudden jump in #inference cost I've seen over the last few days while doing the bug triage. I guess I'll have to start tuning the #eca sub-agents to use the older cheaper model which worked perfectly fine.

  19. Alan Doyle Sunday night at Edmonds Center for the Arts. The audience remained standing through the whole show. They know every song and the words. The dude has quite the following. Great show.

  21. Ten months ago, @dries told me ECA was at maybe 1% of what it could be.

    Today I'm publishing the story of what happened next: Post 1 of a 9-part series on the Vienna → Chicago → Athens journey, the UX research that reshaped everything, and the six-week sprint that produced a new Workflow Modeler.

  23. Last Sunday evening at Edmonds Center for the Arts: Colin James joined by Matt Anderson & Terra Lightfoot. Three Canadian musicians that are far more well known in their home country than here in the US, as far as I know. I had never heard of them, but I'm a superfan now. One of the best performances I've seen in a long time. What a weekend: two concerts, two dinners, and a 56 mile bicycle ride. I'm pooped. #ColinJames #music #concert #blues #Canada #Edmonds #ECA #photography

  25. "Por que o #funk é tão presente nas paradas de #streaming?

    "O funk é baseado em singles, dificilmente um artista faz um álbum. Eles produzem centenas de músicas e postam nas #plataformas —semanalmente sempre tem algum funk novo", explica Eduardo Vicente, da #ECA—USP.

    Para #bombar, fazem clipes e investem em #influenciadores. "Geralmente há investimento para que pessoas famosas na internet criem dancinhas ou insiram as músicas em seus vídeos para gerar repercussão"."

    Next week at Athens 2026, I walk through the 12 turning points that shaped where it is now - and what they taught me about building open source and working with the community.

  29. Sistema Socioeducativo: ruim com ele, pior sem ele

    Constituição trouxe avanços no tratamento de jovens em conflito com a lei. Está longe do ideal: unidades de internação registram desrespeito aos seus direitos e outras injustiças. Mas solução não é reduzir maioridade penal – que os submeteria a ainda mais violência

  30. Por que o LibreOffice é a resposta certa para a educação no Brasil?

    Um novo post no blog explora como o ECA muda as regras do jogo nas escolas!

    Italo Vignoli explica como o LibreOffice se encaixa perfeitamente nessa missão de oferecer produtividade com soberania técnica.

    After 16,000+ sites adopted ECA for no-code/low-code Drupal automation, we listened to every pain point - and rebuilt from the ground up.

  35. Saiu no Jornal da Unicamp a reportagem que fiz com minha colega Leticia Moreira sobre os desafios do ECA Digital para a implementação de um sistema de verificação etária que não represente mais uma desculpa para coletar nossos dados e colocar em risco nossa privacidade. E também os desafios que essa lei pode trazer pro fediverso.

    Entrevistei vários especialistas, entre eles, meu colega @r_evangelista e o Caio Carrara da Alquimídia @rede

  36. Rodney Crowell, legendary country music singer-songwriter at Edmonds Center for the Arts last Thursday night. His guitarist at right was amazing. Rodney introduced him but I can't remember his name, although I remember he was out of New York City. Such a great show. #music #photography #concert #countrymusic #rodneycrowell #edmonds #ECA

  37. Last night we saw Delfeayo Marsalis & the Uptown Jazz Orchestra at Edmonds Center for the Arts. Amazing show and musicians, two encores. Delfeayo introduced all the band members but I can't remember their names. Dinner was at Rory's. #music #jazz #Edmonds #ECA #photography

  38. I've been experimenting with #eca on #emacs and managed to make a start on one of my TODO's which was make a useful #gnus #transient interface for me. It did have some trouble as I had to keep reporting runtime failures for fixing. But you can help by exposing tools to the LLM and giving more context: github.com/stsquad/my-emacs-st

    Anyway the result is serviceable although I do need to give it a human pass: github.com/stsquad/my-emacs-st

  41. With Drupal 11.3 out, we've been excited to try it out -- but kept hitting circular dependency errors blocking updates. Each site had a different dependency chain, but all of them ended up with eca_content depending on itself!

    Today I took this into a debugger to discover the actual cause - symfony_mailer module, which showed up nowhere in any of the errors. drupal.org/project/symfony_mai

    Turns out it's fixed in 2.x beta already, if anyone else hits this! #drupal #eca

  42. @penguin42 there is less direct prompting in the #eca mode as there an automatic back and forth between the llm and the #mcp tools that feed it more context. The thinking is usually hidden from you (even on the web UI) but its still happening - consuming tokens as it goes.
