Over the weekend, I set up a new, highly interactive demo of one of my latest Gutenberg-inspired projects, CoBlocks. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding Gutenberg, so I wanted to shine a little light on how third party blocks can leverage the new editor and bring some really powerful editing capabilities to WordPress.

Inspired by the infamous Frontenberg project, the demo provides a first-person preview for folks to grasp how Gutenberg and CoBlocks work together. Every CoBlocks block is set up on the live demo and can be easily manipulated in just about every fashion.
Go see for yourself — it’s pretty cool!
An update on CoBlocks
While I haven’t introduced many new blocks in a couple months, I have been solidifying the current suite of blocks. Maintaining and updating third-party blocks on pace with Gutenberg has my hands full, but I’m learning quite a lot along the way.
I setup a Frontenberg-style live demo for @CoBlocks so folks can take my #Gutenberg blocks for a spin.
Click to Tweet
Now that Gutenberg is pretty solid, I’ll start pushing more blocks specifically for publishers and content marketers. Do you have some ideas on extending the current suite of content marketing blocks for CoBlocks? I’m all ears!

Whoa ? This is amazing.
I’ve used Divi and Beaver Builder before (which are both great!), but this looks very natural and seamless!
Btw: are you using Better Click to Tweet Premium?
It is! I’m actually using the Click to Tweet block from CoBlocks. ?
Hey Rich! Love what you’re doing.
I’m using your plugin and it works awesome. My suggestion will be to create a email subscription box in Gutenberg. I don’t know if this is possible. Or, probably possible but it will require a lot of work – I don’t know. Still, I’m throwing it as suggestion as I think that it will be helpful for the people using the plugins.
Thanks for the consideration!
Thanks Ivaylo! That’s a great idea for sure!
Looks great.
Would you mind sharing the steps required to create a fronterberg environment?
Hi Mahdi!
The Frontenberg source code is available on GitHub. You’ll run it like a WordPress theme, activate Gutenberg, then save your post content for folks to play with. ?
