Update #82 – WordPress Community Getting Ready for Gutenberg. More Opinions, Plugins and Blocks

Lightweight, I'm really starting to feel #Gutenberg, though. As a developer's journey…blah…I hate Webpack config files…more blah…but as a writer, this is nice. A nice #WordPress #Plugin. Hint…hint…hint…

Ditto. ACF Pro with a custom layout toolkit and page templates. When Gutenborg finally arrives in core, its still going to be ACF – plus the "disable gutenberg" / "enable classic editor" plugin collection.

Today I realized while I’m a strong 10-12 years long #WordPress advocate, during last years I became more and more disappointed by the platform leadership and decisions. And, especially, the way decisions are made and enforced. #Gutenberg being one of them. 1/2

I may have just found my new favorite page on the @WordPress website, a #Gutenberg Theme Support page. That will allow me to configure and limit text size and color options. https://t.co/V486cmIK9C

Working on my starter theme and providing basic support for #Gutenberg. The Gb handbook is really helpful. If you haven't read it, you should go read it soon.

Just a reminder, you're not out of the job once #Gutenberg lands if you don't know React/JSX, shortcodes still work, meta boxes still work, blocks can be rendered with vanilla JS and PHP, layout plugins work fine if you keep them up to date #WordPress

Plugin compatibility testing is fun + a great eye-opener as to the creative work of developers, extending WordPress. Example of a highly sophisticated Shortcode builder via additional buttons to the editor toolbar. It still works in Gutenberg. #pluginiscompatible oscitasthemes pic.twitter.com/3LqAO7gtb0

Do you have a bunch of shortcodes that you’d like to really easily turn into blocks? Here’s a sample plugin showing how to re-use your exisiting shortcode functionality in a block!https://t.co/bppHcumBlB

I write my Gutenberg blocks in plain javascript, like you i'm still not mentally prepared for all the configs 😂

Did you have a chance to check out our new Container block? This block lets you wrap several blocks into a container to create sections and unique layouts! https://t.co/t115oO91jQ pic.twitter.com/qp2ztbCbbO

It strikes me that it may not be widely understood that building on Gutenberg also means understanding the REST API; what data is available, how to create objects etc. Without this it’s difficult to do much custom block development.
