Very well made and interactable
This is a fantastic block! It just works, which is the most basic requirement for a good block. Other things about it make it a great block: It's not a 'black box.' The fact that the carousel is broken down into sub-blocks that are all visible in the page editor is really nice and makes it much more approachable and customizable. There are a lot of options in the block editor that make it even more customizable. Lots of toggles, dropdowns, all the stuff you'd like to see in a block editor There is no pro version. The plugin is not full of bloat and ads. If you look inside the plugin files, it's just what's necessary to create the custom blocks. There are no features hidden behind a paywall, you get all the features The only thing that is not ideal is that you can only see one image at a time in the carousel. This is kind of mitigated with the auto-scroll option, but adding the option to be able to see X number of images at a time would be really nice.
