There was a nice conversation around Full Site editing, designing block themes, and sharing resources beginning here: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4Y3K/p1635956395106000
Some questions that were asked:
- Can you create Gutenberg theme from scratch without templates?
- How can I design my theme if I create all the default folders and files?
- Can I use CSS in the editor?
- With FSE, is there a need to build custom themes the old way?
- Do ACF work with FSE?
Thanks everyone for participating, please comment if there’s something you would like to add.
