To better tell the story of blocks, both within WordPress and as a broader framework for folks to consider with their next project, a new page has been created on WordPress.org that attempts to pull together the ease and power of blocks into a single source:
This work was wrangled in this GitHub issue and this figma file before diving into the editor itself to implement it thanks to help from a wide group of folks with special shout outs to @ryelle @matveb @saxonfletcher @kellychoffman @youknowriad @markoserb @joen @ndiego @provenself. You will soon find this page under the “Extend” menu to better improve discoverability and highlight blocks.
Let’s iterate with feedback
This is intended to be a starting point and not a final destination. Your feedback is welcomed and needed to get to the next iteration. Please leave a comment below and consider the following questions
- What would make this page more compelling?
- What points of confusion remain?
- What visuals would you like to see to better communicate the story of blocks?
- What additional resources need to be created to guide folks?
- Where else should this page be linked from to improve discoverability?
Going forward, the intention is to update this page semi-regularly as it makes sense, with progressive features in WordPress releases and increasing resources.
Thank you to @ndiego and @cbringmann for reviewing this post.
