Great improvements in day-to-day bricks workflow
This plugin adds the exact features I needed for Bricks Builder: BEM Generator, CSS Classes and ID style indicators, HTML tags and Export ID Styles to Class. Amazing work.

Very well thought-out tool for Bricks Builder!
Very useful plugin if you work with Bricks Builder on a daily basis 😉It helps speed up the workflow and keeps the editor more organized. The bulk BEM system and CSS Recipes save a lot of time in real projects. It is also great that everything is modular so you can enable only what you need. It clearly focuses on improving productivity inside the builder 👏🏼👏🏼
