In this episode, Gaby Galea talks to Rich Tabor, Head of Product at Extendify, about blocks, block themes, Gutenberg, and the future of WordPress. Rich has a knack for designing, building, launching, and scaling WordPress products. Episode Highlights and Topics: Block Editor Backlash: Change is hard, especially when it affects your business/lifestyle. Minimalism: Find balance/happy medium between what you want and need to build. Gallery Block: Start with simple, single block and scale up to discover a whole new world. WordPress Future: WP is leaning into editing entire websites, not one content piece/post. Block Themes: CSS custom properties to match preview and themes you can trust. Too Much Control? Locking things inhibits people, but having guardrails is important. Global Styles: Available within the site editor interface to set look-and-feel standards. Gutenberg: Component that drives the look and feel of websites, room for improvement.
