Hallway Hangout: Curating the editor and building block themes for clients


Next week, @greenshady and I will host a casual conversation about building block themes for clients and ways you can curate the Editor experience in WordPress. We will also discuss common challenges and pain points, review existing solutions, and hopefully identify new improvements to WordPress that would make block theming easier for client work. 

To get the conversation started, the session will begin with a brief demonstration of new curation techniques available in WordPress 6.2 and how to build a starter block theme.

Discussion Topics

  • Editor experience curation techniques, including a new client-side filter in WordPress 6.2
  • How to create a starter/boilerplate block theme for your business
  • Pain points and other challenges inhibiting block theme adoption for client work

If you’re interested in joining, the Hallway Hangout will happen on Thursday, May 25, 2023, at 12:00 PM CST (17:00 UTC). The meeting link will be shared through the Learn WordPress Meetup group. RSVP for the event to access the link. Everyone is welcome, but if you have begun building block themes for clients or are interested in block theming, this session is especially for you! 

Props to @greenshady for review.
