Feeds UI + Migrate Engine = Dream Migrations and Imports

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Feeds UI now drives the Migrate engine via the feeds_migrate module, letting site builders create importers in the UI that run core Migrate jobs. Core D7→D8 one-click upgrades work, and CSV-based imports are integrated, but process plugins missing and paragraphs vs field_collections conversions remain unresolved. The current build shows migrations listed and runnable from a feeds-style screen, is compatible with existing migrations, and targets CSV imports, with JSON/XML support and more UI polish planned.
