Excellent Lightweight Plugin!
It's rare to find a series of blocks that has no impact on page loading speed - a timer was used to confirm this. The blocks are of excellent quality. From creating beautiful galleries, tabs, various icon methods, and media blocks. The settings are practical and comprehensive - meaning you can have it good out of the box and fine tune to your desires. I love how you can select which blocks to load into your block library; using only what you want to use. This shows great care of detail and keeping things tidy. I had a gallery issue that was 100% an issue on my end - support graciously looked it over and came forward with many quality suggestions and diagnostics. GutenBee comes highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

great set of useful plugins
I especially like the gallery block. Now trying to figure out how it could fit the viewport in the background. That would make it perfect.

Very good!
I don't use Gutenberg often (just for blog posts), but this plugin makes it extremely easy to add some extra features that Gutenberg lacks. Kepe up the great work!

I love the Gallery
I was browsing for a justified gallery to replace meow gallery who stopped working on my site and came accross this set of blocks. Only used the gallery, and I really like it only con, no easy way to turn a regular gallery block into a gutenbee Gallery. I need to recreate all of them. Maybe is this feature on the road map ?

Google Maps Block is useless without links
Google Maps Block is useless without links. You could only see the map, but you could not click any where to jump to Google map and use the location for direction and navigation.
