Reviews
Having the plugin create random layouts is amazingly fun.
I have to say that I only tested it for 5 minutes or so, I did not test it for responsive views, and other detailed stuff to find bugs and weaknesses. If I find any, I will report back…
Job well done, thanks.
Update: It is responsive as well !!!
2nd Update: Ok, I found I thing I can complain about. In the Bento Cards we are very limited to add blocks into it. We are allowed blocks like image blocks, headings, paragraphs, and maybe one or more others. We should be allowed to insert any registered block that the site has. We are not allowed to even insert a Button block which is very frustrating. Yes, I can hyperlink the text, but using buttons, it will look and feel more professional – just my opinion…
