Claro: the New Drupal Admin UI - Tag1 TeamTalk #010

An effective administrative interface is table stakes for any content management system that wishes to make a mark with users. Claro is a new administration theme now available in Drupal 8 core thanks to the Admin UI Modernization initiative. Intended to serve as a logical next step for Drupal's administration interface and the Seven theme, Claro was developed with a keen eye for modern design patterns, accessibility best practices, and careful analysis of usability studies and surveys conducted in the Drupal community.Claro demonstrates several ideas that not only illustrate the successes of open-source innovation but also the limitations of overly ambitious ideas. By descoping some of the more unrealistic proposals early on and narrowing the focus of the Claro initiative on incremental improvements and facilitating the work of later initiatives, Claro is an exemplar of sustainable open-source development.In this closer look at how Claro was made possible and what its future holds for Drupal administration, join Cristina Chumillas (Claro maintainer and Front-End Developer at Lullabot), Fabian Franz (Senior Technical Architect and Performance Lead at Tag1), Michael Meyers (Managing Editor at Tag1), and Preston So (Editor in Chief at Tag1 and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice) for a Tag1 Team Talks episode about the newest addition to Drupal's fast-evolving front end.
