Housekeeping
@joshuawold suggests a focus on Gutenberg for the weekly design triage during the month of March. Focusing on a few things for Gutenberg phase 2 makes sense, so as of March 4, the triage on Monday is all about Gutenberg!
Updates
Gutenberg Update
Kjell has got some updates on Gutenberg design:
- Widgets to blocks is complete. Kudos to @melchoyce and everyone else who worked on that!
Beyond that, there are three more things he highlights:
- Container Blocks – The cover block is being converted to use nested blocks This makes it much more flexible
- Micro-interactions – As part of the “tighten up” aspect of Gutenberg Phase 2, designers are putting together a list of areas to explore adding micro-interactions, while incorporating best practices from the a11y team.
- Navigation Block – there was a great discussion around the navigation block last week. Work is still underway, but feel free to join the conversation on Github.
Site Health Check Update
Tim Hengeveld brings us an update on the design for Site Health Check. Sketches have been moved to mocks and there have been a number of style explorations. Please leave your feedback on the Github ticket for this issue and help improve.
Showcase Update
