Drupal core includes the help module and there is also the contrib module advanced_help. These do not appear to exist in backdrop. I thought it would be useful even if all it does is provide a GUI that helps to display the readme file of modules and allows for more details.

I used Zen a lot with Drupal 7 as well and liked it. There is no port of Zen, in fact not many Drupal themes have been ported to Backdrop CMS, because theming in Backdrop is quite different from...
Themes: anything like ZEN?
Basis is the most modern and as easy as Bartik. Bartik is still there for backwards compatibility. I've usually sub themed from Basis. But also Bootstrap 5 theme. I don't know if anyone...

Trusted host patterns if several related domains redirect to main domain
Sorry for not being more clear in earlier comment. Presuming .htaccess is directing to a single url, either www or non-www bare domain, not allowing both. When it comes to adding trusted...
Trusted host patterns if several related domains redirect to main domain
What I tend to do in .htaccess is pick one and redirect to that. If you allow both and you don't specify a canonical one, then it could affect search as they would appear as duplicates. You may...

Interesting idea. You can put a port/new module request here:

Someone recently ported the D7 core blog module as a contrib to help with migrations.
If it was just looking at the Readme, then could be fairly standard, but what you would need to factor in is that many README's have code snippets in; the current project listing on Backdrop doesn't handle these well so may need to look at a parser as a dependency
Thank you for the suggestion. I have gone ahead and added the port request, https://github.com/backdrop-ops/contrib/issues/726
I'm not sure of the chronology of this as there is no date on the post. But, the following post shows that the Help module was removed (or excluded) from the core of Backdrop.
