As we gear up for the highly anticipated Drupal CMS Launch Party, we at acolono GmbH are thrilled to unveil a completely rebuilt frontend for our beloved community project, Drupical.com. This transformation is more than just a visual upgrade—it’s a leap forward in performance, usability, and functionality.

Drupical has long been the go-to platform for discovering Drupal events worldwide, and now, it’s better than ever, just in time to help everyone plan and celebrate this milestone release.

Why the Upgrade?

Drupical is built to serve the global Drupal community, and as Drupal evolves, so should the tools that support it. New Year, new JavaScript framework :) That’s why we modernize Drupical’s frontend using Svelte, a cutting-edge JavaScript framework known for its speed and efficiency.

What’s New?

  1. Modern Frontend with Svelte
    The new Drupical frontend leverages Svelte to deliver a lightning-fast, seamless user experience.
  2. Bug Fixes
    We squashed several bugs to make Drupical more reliable than ever. No more glitches—just a clean, efficient experience tailored to the Drupal community.
  3. Sync with Drupal.org Events
    Drupical now syncs directly with Drupal.org’s events, ensuring the platform stays up-to-date with the latest happenings from the heart of the community. With our customized Drupal backend, we now also update content whenever an event on d.o. is modified and not only when new content is added.
  4. URL Patterns for Filters
    Want to share your customized event search? Drupicals URL patterns reflect the current filters, so you can easily share specific event views with friends, colleagues, or your community.
  5. Plan Your Trip with Google Maps
    Dreaming of attending a Drupal event? Drupical now integrates with Google Maps, allowing you to plan your trip to events with ease. :P
  6. Calendar Subscriptions
    Never forget an event again\! With the new calendar subscription feature, you can add events directly to your personal calendar. It’s never been easier to stay organized and connected.
  7. Support for “Drupal Fest” category
    We introduced another category to our listing and if there are celebrations, then we have also this new category visible
