  • KISS and Smart

    Not only is it installed on all my websites, it's also created by a nice person. A must have that does what it says! 👌

  • Deserves 5 stars, but...

    Reveals the blocks invisible lines better than what the EditorsKit does (way better), BUT, you have to make sure that you use the key. shortcut while you have not selected any block, otherwise the shortcut will also change that selected block's alignment to the right. Maybe having a different shortcut would be another way to go, or even better, a button instead on the top toolbar. Otherwise, excellent plugin, I am sticking to the 5 stars, Thanks.

  • Great plugin!

    For reasons that are difficult to understand, Gutenberg devs have decided to gradually remove any kind of block outline. This plugin brings back this necessary feature. Thanks.

  • Super useful

    Saves so much time and makes the editing/building so much easier. I found this just when I needed it. Thanks so much Maxime.

  • Simple and effective

    Thanks Maxime, your plugin saves me a lot of time. It doesn't seem to be a big deal, but these few borders improve the editor interface a lot. Maybe one day in core... ? :-) Just a little note: I searched a while before finding the keyboard shortcut to use to activate the feature. Maybe the information would be welcome directly in the plugin description.
