Joshua Gugun Siagian created an implementation of Tailwind CSS 4 for WordPress called WindPress (previously called Yabe Siul). WindPress is lightweight, fast, and compiles in the browser, so no calls to an external server are needed. The developer has just released a free version on the WordPress plugin directory for Gutenberg, Greenshift, Kadence, and Timber. Builders such as Bricks, Breakdance, Oxygen and others require the pro version.

For plugin developers – the Gutenberg plugin has introduced the ability to register block templates using API calls which makes it easier to include templates in plugins. This feature is scheduled for inclusion in WordPress 6.7.

The WebDevStudios team has created their own block theme, WDS BT, which looks pretty interesting. There is a link to the theme and an outline of their design system in this blog post from the esteemed Lisa Sabin-Wilson.

The BitApps team has created a free online testing platform. You can use it to test their plugins, but now they are opening it up so you can use it to test other plugins and themes. There is a checkbox for installing their plugins on the test site.
You can use the sites for 7 days before they are reset. It looks like they may intend to create a platform like InstaWP or TasteWP. You need to provide your email address to log in and that signs you up to their newsletter. I would not install or add any sensitive info on the test sites as there is no password.
They are currently gathering feedback from users.
