Wow, the Generate team has done it again. The alpha versions of GenerateBlocks free and pro have been released. They were totally rewritten, made ultimately performant in that every thing is rendered before saving so no front-end rendering is needed. Also there is good attention to flexibility. For example, the new Query Loop can loop over ACF repeaters and other data as well as post queries. There is a new dynamic tag system for dynamic data and it is easy to register your own. Read about these changes and watch a video overview on the announcement page.
