Description
The goal of the block editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable.
Warning: This is beta software, do not run on production sites!
The new post and page building experience will make writing rich posts effortless, making it easy to do what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery.
WordPress already supports a large amount of “blocks”, but doesn’t surface them very well, nor does it give them much in the way of layout options. By embracing the blocky nature of rich post content, we will surface the blocks that already exist, as well as provide more advanced layout options for each of them. This will allow you to easily compose beautiful posts like this example.
Gutenberg is built by many contributors and volunteers. You can see the full list of contributors in the GitHub CONTRIBUTORS.md file which we are continuously updating. You can follow along on github.com/WordPress/gutenberg and on the #editor tag on the make.wordpress.org blog.

We’d love to hear your bug reports, feature suggestions and any other feedback! Please head over to the GitHub issues page to search for existing issues or open a new one. While we’ll try to triage issues reported here on the plugin forum, you’ll get a faster response (and reduce duplication of effort) by keeping everything centralized in the GitHub repository.

Edit UI is sweet; Error on Publish
So promising, and I’m psyched to participate in the progress.
On publish, I get an error* “Keep in mind this plugin is a beta version and will not display correctly on your theme.” This is true with Twenty Seventeen and one other theme I’ve tried so far – Daily Insight.
On Twenty Seventeen, the Gutenberg post publishes as standard post, but that post will not update if I add a Quote block or others.
On Daily Insight, nothing’s published at all.
Will check github issues for updates, workarounds, etc.
Thank you for this great work.
* – Also: Cannot select the copy in the error dialog …
Awesomeness
After the WCEU talk I went ahead and installed this locally.
It’s been a whole ride, the only thing I would like to see is a more drag experience to move blocks up and down, you can only do this one at a time.
Great direction forward for WP
Hopefully, we’ll see this in WordPress 5.0. It’s truly a step forward for the whole editing experience.
Great!
Great approach! I like the overall filling of blocks.
