WPWeekly Episode 331 – Status Update on Gutenberg With Gary Pendergast
If you care about #accessibility and #WordPress, hop on this #Gutenberg issue and let the #a11y lead know you support an independent audit of the new editor. Let's make it clear that WP is not truly democratizing publishing if its not accessible to all. https://t.co/RqoidzcWKZ

Great post by Jason Cohen https://t.co/SmoFyc3w5j "Gutenberg should not be used as an excuse to refrain from updating to WordPress 5.0 when it’s released. Quite the contrary—our hope is that Gutenberg will be the reason many people update to 5.0 once it’s made available. "

Building Blocks
Yup, a plugin I made that takes #Gutenberg data and stores the data elegantly into the DB which is accessible via REST API directly or via normal /posts/ endpoint.
