Adding a little motion to your content can work miracles by literally making it “pop-out”. As with other functionalities there are several plugins that will allow you to add CSS animations using shortcodes, but they can be a little clunky to use. Seeing this feature translated into Gutenberg blocks is really interesting.
I have found several plugins that help animate blocks, and noticed they use two main approaches: The Container and the Extra Settings Panel.
This plugin does NOT add any extra blocks, but extends the functionality & control of existing blocks :
We know that adding inline styles are one of the most demanded features, but we also know it can be a double-edged sword and a gateway to all kinds of inline horrors.
I am going to review plugins which add inline styles to paragraph blocks, mostly color, backgrounds and general typography settings.
Most of these plugins are in fact Block collections which offer this added functionality as an extra, while three of them (Mighty Blocks, Advanced Rich Text Tools and Editors Kit) are standalone plugins, and do not include any blocks.
I made a review of Ghost Kit a while back but since then this plugin has added several new features, some of which offer extra settings and extend the functionalities of the block editor.
I noticed this message below while I was testing performance on gu10.blog (using GTMETRIX via ManageWP). I am curious as if there is already some strategy on the roadmap to address this problem.

It currently has 70k+ installs and has an impressive amount of out of the box blocks. The post grid/masonry is particularly well built and detailed.
It has a nice settings page where you can enable/disable their blocks
This simple plugin will allow you to preview the content of your shortcode in the backend
The block will disappear from the frontend and you will get this message in the backend. It would be nice if it could fallback to the default “Shortcode” block.
