Love it and Hate it

  • First of all, I do like the cleaner UI. I’m used to work on Google Docs or iA Writer so this is ok with me, but not really convinced on the block side.

    The right side column may be much better, for example it has no option to hide “sections” I don’t use at all or even I can’t reorder the way I like, that was an option in the actual UI.

    In terms of production it makes me slower as it needs an extra click to have a section exposed to select or type, rather than the actual that is always expanded.(shortcuts might be the answer)

    Featured Image Bad. Since I’m using Gutemberg the featured image is not used for auto-posting to social networks (using SNAP) instead the first image embeded in the text is used, if there are no images it uses the default imagen set in YOAST SEO.

    Galleries are not working the way they used to. In fact gallery styles are totally missing, no more mosaic, square, circle, slider… now there’s only a control to set the number of columns to be shown and what to do on click over them.

    Preview is not working from an unpublished work.

    Widget can’t use widgets other than those proposed by the UI. In counterpart I use SiteOrigin’s Page Builder to “facelift” some articles and there I can pick and choose any widget I want. Under Gutemberg I can’t use SiteOrigin PageBuilder nor there are options to use widgets I need.

    Mobile Experience is totally unpresent

    @gamboagarcia thanks for the time taken in testing Gutenberg. It maybe seems like SNAP isn’t working with Gutenberg. Thanks for that feedback and note absolutely features like that should be working on release.

    Gallery styles aren’t a default part of WordPress, they come in a plugin but it’s good you mention those. Would you like such features added to the block itself and brought into core?

    Could I ask if you have saved as a draft before publishing? If you did then I would like to find out more as it seems there is a bug going on to fix.

    It seems like you use Site Origin’s page builder a lot. What do you think are the things to learn from that experience?

    Regarding mobile, absolutely the experience there needs to be better. If you could tell me what device you tried this on that would be great, not all mobile devices are the same and thank you so much for testing mobile.
