  • Very useful tool

    Works really well!

  • Really useful!

    This plugin comes in pretty handy when developing block themes - since handling an ever-growing theme.json file really sucks and you can't even use basic features like comments, etc. But no more, with "Theme YAML" i can finally write and maintain readable global styles and theme settings without a hassle :) Very easy to use, there are no settings: Just install, activate and you're basically good to go!
