After 15 years in this space, I've learned that technology works best when it adapts to human needs, not the other way around. That's the principle driving everything we build at @OctahedroidHQ.
Just as @drupalconsole emerged when developers needed better tools for the Symfony-based architecture in @drupal 8, today's API-first world demands new solutions. The challenge has shifted from generating modules to seamlessly connecting modern frontends with powerful content management.
What connects these projects is their focus on real-world friction points. Drupal Console didn't just generate code, it taught developers the new patterns they needed to understand. Similarly, Drupal Decoupled isn't just about separating frontend and backend, t's about making that separation productive and maintainable.
As Drupal CMS evolves toward more low-code solutions, developers building API-first architectures need tools that respect both technical flexibility and editorial workflows.
We've published an article exploring this evolution from Console to Decoupled, examining how community-driven solutions address the changing needs of developers and content teams alike.

Drupal Console emerged as a practical response to the challenges created by the transition from Drupal 7 to 8. As that chapter closes, its spirit continues in Drupal Decoupled.
Both tools were born from specific pain points encountered by real developers.
Where Drupal Console helped navigate Symfony integration and new programming patterns, Drupal Decoupled now simplifies the integration of modern front-end frameworks in headless setups and API-first architectures.
But most importantly, what connects these projects is their focus on solving concrete problems through community collaboration, even amid the current shifts in the Drupal ecosystem, because we believe true innovation happens at the edges.

Today's my 13 #Drupalversary!
I do have a love/hate/love relation with #Drupal and tried left the boat a couple of times:
Before Drupal 8 then came back to create DrupalConsole.
Doing Jamstack/FE but back to work on Decoupled projects using #GatsbyJS #NextJS #Remix & #GraphQL.

Today at @decoupleddays @jmolivas is presenting on DX with GraphQL.
So many flashbacks to when I first met him at BADCamp 2013. His DrupalConsole work back then automated so much boilerplate and he’s doing it again for GraphQL!

Definitely. It set a great example. I'm kind of glad that we're back to one primary tool, but it was definitely the better tool for a while.

Not sure if dead but in hiatus yes. But even if death @drupalconsole did a really important task. Modernize the @drupal CLI world and make @DrushCli follow our path of take advantage of OOP and @symfony components. I may write a blog post related to all this story and the drama.

Not much content to manage, since a lot of data comes from the Github API, and the site will be maintained by tech people (no GUI needed). But more important we wanted to have a single repository for the site plus the documentation and the docs content was already using md files.

I will write a series of blog posts explaining how the site was built. Keep in touch for the publications if interested on the topics.
And for those interested to see the lighthouse audit report of the #DrupalConsole site. You can see it here.

The new #DrupalConsole site is out now drupalconsole.com/. It was built using #GatsbyJS and markdown files (no headless cms here) and it was deployed to @GCP ~ @Firebase.
The site consumes data from the @github API via a Cloud Function on the build process at `sourceNodes`
