Making Drupal as easy to use as Squarespace
summary
A drag‑and‑drop page builder called page_designer is built as a Drupal field that opens a front‑end editor and integrates with Drupal core media library, Webform, block layout and a PatternLab‑style patterns system; it stores entities as a tree (no HTML blobs) via a plugin manager so individual fields remain addressable. Three developers spend a year on version 2, it is open source on drupal.org, has 50+ installations and lacks full revision support and distribution packaging.
