Flexible popup block!
I needed a simple popup plugin for emergency notifications and was looking for something that integrates nicely with the new block editor. I found a bunch that were clunky and / or bloated. This is perfect (well almost perfect). It has all the settings I need (sets an optional cookie with adjustable lifespan, it has intuitive appearance controls, and it's SO easy to create and modify popups on a per-page / post basis. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the min-width setting doesn't allow sufficient control to make this play nicely on mobile devices. Easy to fix with a bit of CSS - but adding width & max-width settings would IMO make this much better. Example, in child theme I added: .abs-popup .modal-content { width: 90% !important; max-width: 400px !important; } Thanks for sharing your plugin! pk

Exit intent not working in Firefox
Works fine in Chrome and Edge, but can't get Exit Intent to reveal the box using Firefox.

Good and useful plugin
Does exactly what I wanted it and what it says to do. Two things that maybe are useful for others: 1. I wanted to call a JS function on close. So I added my stopVideos call (if it is there) to the frontend.js file of the plugin: {key:"closeModal",value:function(){ if(typeof stopVideos=='function'){stopVideos();} If there is any better way, let me now (same for 2). 2. The pink logo svg in the editor was way too huge for me. I don't know the reason, but to dodge it I wrote the following rule into the corresponding editor CSS file of my theme: .popup-preview svg {display: none;}

Great Plugin
Lightweight block does exactly as advertised. Can activate by anchor link and a few other ways such as: page exit, timer, scroll location. Make sure to put it at the top of editor blocks, otherwise it does a few funky things when displaying.
