Slow on compatibility with latest WordPress updates.
Still no compatibility with WordPress 6.9 and Gutenberg API v3... 7 months later. "Block with API version 2 or lower is deprecated since version 6.9. Note: The block "themeisle-blocks/content-generator" is registered with API version 2. This means that the post editor may work as a non-iframe editor. Since all editors are planned to work as iframes in the future, set the apiVersion field to 3 and test the block inside the iframe editor."

+1 for shadows and blog posts
This was the only plugin I could find that allowed blog posts in a card format. I also like that shadows can be added to blocks.
