In @GenerateBlocks 2.0, you can use the new Query Block to do nested loops with mixed query types.

For instance, if you wanted to do a post query and then loop over an ACF repeater that each post has, you can do it.

Every query type supports pagination. Even instant pagination.

It's super sick. I'm going to do a deep dive on the feature soon.

I feel like I'm always building something fun at GenerateBlocks these days.

Right now we're working on a whole new Site Editing experience and part of it includes the ability to generate a monochrome color palette from a single base color.

In the past I've built many sites for clients that maybe had 1-2 "brand colors" (basically colors in their logo at best). But building a nice site inevitably involves more colors than just two.

So we thought, why not make it super easy to generate some colors of the same hue at different lightness levels to get someone started and then let them edit those individual colors if needed?

Feature is still being built but this video below is an example of some of the basic functionality.
