@pootlepress Eg the navigation system (which is why we built our own), theme based synced patterns (which seems to have lost momentum) and responsive controls. Also more ways to restrict editing for clients would be nice.

I have plenty of other thoughts, but that will do for now!

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@pootlepress Our agency went all in on native blocks maybe 3-4 years ago, and have been building exclusively with FSE for clients for 2 years. We've had to build a lot of tooling (block extensions, block libraries), but overall we really like it, with some caveats.

@richtabor Via Composer, with updates disabled.

@keithdevon This is my favourite - nice and lightweight and native feeling: https://t.co/UPXe9UxaQv

@nickmdiego Thanks so much for sharing - this looks brilliant and just what I've been hoping to see emerge with the 6.5 changes.

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@justintadlock That's what I use too - it's been excellent so far!

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@fabiankaegy @justintadlock That's great to see progress in this area Justin thanks for sharing, I'm really looking forward to it!
Now if the issue Fabian mentioned could some how get into 6.5 I'd be a happy bunny 🙂

@briancoords Great writeup. I've gradually been transitioning to full block themes for client builds at work, and your conclusion is virtually identical to mine in terms of what I'd like to see/what I'd considered building, because a git workflow is quite crucial for me.

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@justintadlock @richtabor @WordPress Of course, I'll take a look on Friday evening and add details of what I've tried/issues that I've experienced etc.

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@richtabor Looks great, would be interested!

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@keithdevon The way I've done this is by extending the group/column/cover blocks with a link control, which adds a pseudo element over the top as a link.

I created a gist of the various code parts, but it needs further explanation:

Happy to explain if needed.

@justintadlock You want a nice layer of cream then jam (or jam then cream depending on who you believe, but they are wrong!) on each half 😛 Hope you had a good time!

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@wpmark I'd also recommend Splide, it's what we ended up settling in after trying a lot of options.

[Justin Tadlock @justintadlock]

If you use Hybrid Core for building themes, we have some pretty exciting stuff coming in v6.0 next month. Mostly, the framework is shifting gears so that it is 100% modular and can be used as the foundation for both themes and plugins.

@kbal11 Couldn't agree more!

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@kbal11 So sorry to hear this Kevin - what a touching piece to read. Hope you and family are doing OK.

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@JeremyEnglert Tailwind gets my vote 🙂

[Brett Mason @BrettSMason]

@JeremyEnglert A fan of Tiny Slider personally - handles most use cases 🙂

So, it's time for that huge WordPress news I mentioned. I'm publishing the 2nd edition of Professional WordPress Plugin Development alongside @williamsba and @JJJ. https://t.co/EYSvOThMMy
