Loved watching the challenge, especially Rich using the Guttenberg editor, he showed how powerful and flexible it is, compared to other themes/site builders. I even learned a couple of new things. Can't wait for 6.6

[@ahmetakdel]

It was a very profound and different experience. Both of them were great. Rich showed us that soon we will be able to do everything we can do with elementor or other pagebuilder and more with block editor. thanks jamie, jonathan and rich ❤👌

[@SuttonsNest]

That was a LOT of fun to watch. I appreciated the effort of both Jonathan and Rich.

[@jamiewp]

thanks for watching - both Jonathan and Rich were great 👍

This episode was excellent, showcasing two outstanding educators and esteemed members of the WordPress community. I often enjoy Permaslugs' content, and in this case, watching Rich Tabor's with his active involvement in the Gutenberg Project was especially engaging, providing a glimpse of upcoming features and workflow of full site editing.

[@jamiewp]

Yup i 100% agree Max - it was facinating to see the two different approaches.

If anyone is going to be in Turin here's some background on how it came about and what's going to happen wptavern.com/podcast/123-jamie-marsland-on-the-wordcamp-europe-speed-building-challenge

I catch the episode in the last minutes of the live version, so i rewind, and try do the site. Was fun just hear the voices. Also in all episodes iam seeing a pattern. Every single one of the participants strugle with the challenge. Is fun to see, expert of automatic or whatever tool decide to use, have the same problems everyone of us have, even the ones are responsible for the product have this problem. For me is a relive, because even the greatest WordPress educators and developers have problems with the new block system (i know its not new) as me. Thanks Jamie, for this Speed Build Challenge, and long live to them. See you next time. Regards from Patagonia, Argentina

[@jamiewp]

Wow Patagonia - incredble 🤩

Finally had a minute to try this myself - the ConvertKit landing page is gone! I did some screenshots from the video, but it wasn't the same. Will try one of the other ones. Great concept!

Both participants did a great job! I am eager to see the next challenges. Curious if Breakdance, Bricks and others will be used in one of the next competitions. There is so much out there - and there are so many WP-professionals who can do amazing things...

[@jamiewp]

Hi, yup we are close to finalising a Bricks vs Gutenberg episode :)

[@GianniRaimondi-u9c]

@@jamiewp Looking forward to see Kevin G. here then!? ;-)

[@jamiewp]

@@GianniRaimondi-u9c that would be great, but he's declined.

[@GianniRaimondi-u9c]

@@jamiewp :-( however - I am sure the "Bricks"-participant will be a great one too!

[@hoangblueky]

Everything can be done with the Block Editor. The only problem is that the child Columns of a large Column do not have the "RADIUS" option, so they cannot be rounded. 😅

[@hoangblueky]

Columns with bordered Grid worked well

[@JordanStambaugh1]

Good job guys. Honestly, it gives me a headache watching you build with blocks/gutenburg 😅 to each their own though!

[@jamiewp]

What’s your builder of choice ?

[@JordanStambaugh1]

@@jamiewp Bricks, hands down.

@@jamiewp are the participants able to use any library they want or just vanilla Bricks?

Very good content! =D

[@jamiewp]

thank you

[@techiesreviews]

Amazing video again! Love these live streams. Makes me consider Generate Blocks and being excited for 6.6. It would be so awesome if we could have a theme, that is unopinionated, but allows you to add styles via the Gutenberg UI into themes.json. An FSE Theme UI builder. Secondly, it's such a shame that spacers needs to be used to improve the UX of adding spacing around, that should be added for the padding/margin. Some tools offer a way of editing it, but it feels janky at times. Any way, love it! Kudos and we should have more WP team members in the stream

[@jamiewp]

Thanks Lex - the core blocks do now have margin and paddings controls - i believe Rich added spacers because a) it was quicker for this challenge and b) it's easier for clients to amend if needed (than having to search for where margin has been added).

[@techiesreviews]

@@jamiewp Soon it Will support negative to 😁. My remark was about b, it’s a shame that there is no visual indication of changing the margin / padding just like the spacer option. It’s a ux challenge, but I am confident that it can be solved by the WP team 😁. I’ll also love to explore how others solve this just for entertainment

[@jamiewp]

@@techiesreviews we have this vimeo.com/954756379?share=copy

[@techiesreviews]

​@@jamiewp Yeah, I know, which is an improvement, but is it the most intuitive version for adding padding and margin? I don't believe it is. Greenshift has a solution. This is not perfect, but it is a little better regarding UX. You see the changes where you are editing, secondly, I don't have to search for my padding/margin in the side panel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CzaHiGn712g7c Many tools have different solutions, but I don't know which is the best solution for changing the padding, margin, height, and width (perhaps borders), all within 1px of each other.

[@jamiewp]

@@techiesreviews that's very cool - tks for sharing - i need to checkout Greenshift

[@JoeSimpsonJr]

Jamie, the music is distracting and takes away from the in-process build banter which makes these challenges so special. Less is more.

[@jamiewp]

Noted 👍

[@ConstyNash]

Spacing seems to be an issue for everyone.
