Let’s build more blocks

I like this idea shared by Matias Ventura, centered on making it easier to introduce standalone blocks to WordPress via the Block Directory. Leveraging the existing Gutenberg infrastructure and contributor base, allows for significantly more collaboration, which would lead to a more diverse collection of high-quality, endorsed blocks for everyone.

Scrolling text, link cards, icons, dark mode toggles—the list goes on of interesting blocks that would be great if served at the quality threshold of core blocks.

The blocks in WordPress core are best-in-class. I’m looking forward to discovering others in the Block Directory that share the same DNA as these.

What do you think?

    Love the idea. I am pretty new to wp and was wondering how you managed to get the dark mode toggle here, any plugin or doc you could point me towards?

      Nice to have you around Fladson! It’s currently a custom block I built for my site. I built it as a dynamic block, like this, which makes block building a good bit easier. I do plan on moving it to my blocks directoryl I just need to find time to clean it up.
