One of the beauties of Gutenberg is that it creates an ecosystem in which all new blocks and UI elements are fully compatible and interchangeable.

This means that the work of different developers is now recyclable and stackable.

  • Without Gutenberg

I created this site to test and keep track of new blocks and other Gutenberg related plugins.

Thank you for visiting!

Meow Gallery (+ Gutenberg Gallery Block)

Meow Gallery (+ Gallery Block)

A well thought out plugin that offers several layout options, including Masonry. It is practical and very well thought out, you can tell it was a photographer who built it. It is also important to note that this plugin works both as a Gutenberg block and with the classic “shortcode” gallery.

Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks – Kioken Blocks

Update This plugin has been closed as of March 15, 2022 and is not available for download.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/kioken-blocks/

A block suite that includes claims certainly includes custom queries for post lists and which does extend Gutenberg in two interesting ways: custom inline color and fonts.

If you need to display Custom Post Types I also would recommend you take a look at Archive Mapping and Post Selector in general or Product Blocks in the case of WooCommerce products.

A fairly straightforward and light-weight block to add an instagram feed. If need want extra options & settings please check other options, such as the block offered by Ghost Kit.

I quite like to, when you first insert it, the block provides a link right there to go get a IG token:

Table of contents (Summary) Blocks: A comparison

Photo by Suzy Hazelwood
Photo by Suzy Hazelwood

When writing long posts, a table of contents is absolutely necessary. There are many plugins on the repo which will use the heading structure to create this summary dynamically, and add it to the posts automatically:

Table of Contents Plus
Easy Table of Contents

I would like to cover today several new blocks that offer a similar functionality to the two examples above but which work as blocks.
