  • Great block!

    Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.

  • Heavy, expensive, terrible framework design, and very limited features!!!!!

    Test your site with this plugin and without it, on lighthouse. it costs between like 5-6 points, on mobile!!!!! It loads 45K of unused classes!!!!!!! 45K gzipped, and 186unzipped. No idea how come a company like Automattic can release a feature so funfumental, written so bad like that.

  • A more flexible replacement for the standard columns block

    The is a more flexible replacement for the standard columns block. If you've ever battled with the standard columns to make multi-column components that adapted at mobile, tablet and desktop then I would definitely recommend this block.
