I'd like to make a suggestion: the video "Overcoming Backdrop barriers: module ports and themes" could be included in the list of Instructional Videos on the Backdrop CMS YouTube channel. I believe it's an excellent guide for those who are new to Backdrop or coming from Drupal 7—especially for building themes using Flexible Layouts and the Mini Layouts module.
It's worth considering that Backdrop has the potential to grow by attracting new developers from Drupal, WordPress, other CMS platforms, or even from those who are just starting out in website development.
At the moment, there is limited beginner-friendly documentation with practical examples. Personally, I've found helpful explanations using tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, provided that the prompts are well crafted. Still, having more official resources aimed at this audience would be ideal to help newcomers get started with confidence.
Thanks to the Backdrop CMS YouTube channel and the Team Triplo channel for the videos they’ve shared so far, they’ve been a great help.
