Blocks catalog

WordPress 5.0, released in December 2018, introduced the Block Editor ( aka Gutenberg ). The Block editor is used to create and manipulate Blocks. WordPress provides a starter set of Blocks, which are extensible. Plugins and themes can add their own.

We’re starting to build a new catalog of Blocks, intended to be similar to the Shortcode catalog.

The core blocks for WordPress will be created in /block. Other sites will direct you to these blocks.

I’ve built the infrastructure to allow blocks for other plugins and themes to be discovered. Now I need to populate it, starting with the 30 or so core blocks and 35 core embeds.
