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.

Ronald Huereca has a free addon that adds features to GenerateBlocks.

Congratulations to Johnathan Jernigan who is now officially making videos for the GenerateBlocks team. Here is one on using the awesome new Global Styles features.

An alpha version of GenerateBlocks brings global styles completely redone, allowing advanced selectors, multiple classes per element, huge collection of wireframes in the local patterns library. CSS grid added, custom breakpoints, and more.

Ronald Huereca has created this free set of helpers for use with GenerateBlocks.
