“ ” The editor will endeavour to create a new page and post building experience that makes writing rich posts effortless, and has “blocks” to make it easy what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery. MATT MULLENWEG make.wordpress.org/core/2017/01/04/focus-tech-and-design-leads/

Authoring richly laid out posts is a key strength of WordPress… but it’s not easy to do.

Slide 8

Slide 8 text

By embracing "the block", we can potentially unify multiple different interfaces into one.

Slide 9

Slide 9 text

"Mystery meat" refers to hidden features in software, features that you have to discover.

Slide 10

The vision… • Everything is a block • All blocks are created equal • Drag and drop is additive • Placeholders are key • Direct manipulation • Customisation

CHAPTER III Blocks

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

“ ” Ultimately, the vision for Gutenberg is to make it much easier to author rich content. Through ensuring good defaults, wrapping and bundling advanced layout options blocks, and making the most important actions immediately available, authoring content with WordPress should be accessible to anyone.

CHAPTER VI Themes

Slide 48

Slide 48 text

Gutenberg DOES NOT need a theme to work

Slide 49

Slide 49 text

What would an ideal theme be for Gutenberg? • Single unlimited width column. • Styles are IF want a true experience - ‘near’ frontend editing. • Simpler THE better. • Best is just CSS themes. • Page templating… think placeholders • Customisation is up to user NOT theme
