Amazing accessible marquee!

  • Thank you for creating this amazing and most of all accessible marquee block! I love how it is coded and how it functions.

    Here are just some suggestions for possible improvement:

    • Editor appearance could be improved as currently it is quite confusing as it differs from the front-end appearance. For example, when the block is not selected in the editor, it could display as on front-end (meaning all the child items inline).
    • Would appreciate setting custom unit for content gap setting. (Maybe use the spacing options interface and values?)

    Hi @tanvirul,

    I’ve got a couple more suggestions, if you don’t mind:

    • I would appreciate if the Marquee block is not the first block in the block list. Users tend to use different blocks and I think there is no reason why custom blocks should be displayed before WordPress native blocks.
    • It would be great to create some tutorial on how to use the plugin. I think it could explain how the block works, how to add/set the content. I think the user experience currently isn’t that great as initial setting of the Marquee block was a bit confusing. Here is how I struggled:
      1. First I’ve tried to insert multiple Paragraph blocks into the Marquee block in expectation these will be displayed as continuous list of keywords. This is not the case – all paragraphs were displayed as stack, not inline.
      2. So I’ve wrapped those Paragraph blocks with a Row block, which seems to be working and is most likely how the Marquee block was intended to be used: I need to use some wrapper block for the content to set the content layout.
      3. Even after wrapping the content with Row block I’ve noticed a significant space between the marquee turns/repeats. This was caused by my content not spanning across the whole width of the Marquee block. Once I’ve added some more text into Marquee content so it is longer/wider than the Marquee block container, the result looked as intended.

    Thanks again for considering these suggestions!
