Grate plugin and mess at the same time

  • 5/5, but some words worth to put:
    In general experience: I love… few things – the rest is just mess I can’t even as a developer to turn off.

    What I love / like:

    • Grid Block – it’s almost perfect and far away from other plugins offer the same
    • I can develop features NOW that comes in next few releases to WordPress (like: lock binding, easy pattern creation etc.)

    What I really hate:

    • Pattern library: it could be add-on – not bundled thing in this plugin – for infos for devs like CBB button in toolbar could be a filter to turn it off.
    • Disable native plugin’s blocks like carousel – for now it’s possible by another plugin installation (with some random problems).
    • Freemius – I understand it, but still it’s the only one plugin I use and contains “Freemius” inside. Maybe it’s worth to switch to own flow (i love the Misha did it and has tutorials how He made it: rudrastyh.com).

    Best,
    Paul

    Hey Paul @inkm,

    Thank you for your review and suggestions. CBB offers a lot of features, and while not everyone loves all of them, many customers do. I will add more settings and filters in upcoming versions to allow users to opt in or out of the features they like or don’t like.

    Additionally, this plugin does not bundle a pattern library, block library, or variation library. It only includes links and buttons to allow you to import items from an external store, so there is no bloat. It includes only five empty layout blocks: Advanced Group, Carousel, Grid, Accordion, and Stack. You cannot delete them, but you can easily change their status to ‘draft’, ‘private’, etc., to disable them. For example in your case, you can set other blocks as ‘private’ and keep only the Grid block.

    Again, thank you very much for your honest review.

    Best regards,
    Phi
