This is a fantastic idea. The concept of an cloud-based plugin store, coupled with
single-purpose blocks — I love it. Just for experimentation, I tested the StarterX
block, and yes, it installed and works on-page. My only concern is whether the cloud
repository can scale for millions of users.

Good concept, if it would work. Doesnt install any plugins. Will come back in a 
couple of weeks and check again.

This is super cool, but after you click install on one these blocks, it confirms
you installed it…only to then not have done anything at all. It won't appear as 
installed, and going to a page with Gutenberg, the ones you tried to install won't
show up. When you go back, it gives the option to install them again. Rinse and 
repeat and they'll never be installed. I'm really excited about this, but I can't
seem to get it to work, and its currently too young to see anyone else with a similar
problem on record. I'll change my review if there's any way to fix the problem.

### 󠀁[Fantastic, almost unbelievable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-almost-unbelievable/)󠁿

This concept, having a common repo for blocks, accessible directly from WP admin,
just like for plugins and themes, is the way to go. You can select exactly the blocks
you neeed with a click and disable them also with a click. No need to have users
see a lot of listed blocks that just happen to be installed by plugin that has only
one block you really need. Nothing is downloaded, they work from the cloud. Can 
be network activated. But more, as you can add local blocks that become visible 
in special tab on the Cloud Blocks activation/deactivation screen. And you can contribute
to the global repo through NPM.

### 󠀁[Great concept!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-concept-16/)󠁿

The great thing about the Gutenberg editor are blocks, and the great thing about
blocks is Gutenberg Cloud as their repository. This plug-in is the only one you'll
ever need to expand the selection of blocks for your website. From a user perspective,
adding blocks works the same way like adding themes or plug-ins, so it's simple,
fast and intuitive. If you are using Gutenberg, you absolutely need this plug-in.
