A small collection of lightweight WordPress blocks that can accomplish nearly anything.
== Description ==
Add incredible versatility to your editor without bloating it with tons of one-dimensional Gutenberg blocks. With GenerateBlocks, you can learn a handful of blocks deeply and use them to build anything.
GenerateBlocks works hand-in-hand with GeneratePress, but is built to work with any theme.
