Will there be a dedicated Blocks topic or is that this? If it’s the latter, maybe some code snippets could help? Or is what is in the plugin-api.gjs file the current docs? Thanks.

Having some actual fun with this :winking_face_with_tongue: … As other AI design tools it’s really performant for quickly prototyping ideas that would have been too costly to sketch out manually.

Finally!!! Will try it asap to update my experimental theme components :smiley: [Elmo Surrounded by Intense Fire]

This is great work and very creative. If we fork and build off this theme are there considerations for the parent not staying updated with Discourse over time? Trying to think how this should be approached. Thanks for the resources!

Thanks @BrianC ! On the parent staying updated: the skills track Discourse’s theme and Blocks APIs, so as long as we actively use them, they will be kept in sync as the APIs evolve. The example theme is more of a snapshot to demonstrate patterns. If you fork it, you own your fork. But you can refer …

I’m just starting to mess around with this (without agentic coding). I get the impression that it wouldn’t take too much to convert this into a Theme Component which controls just the Homepage of a site - for example, one already using the Horizon Theme. Would that be stupid? Also, I’ve noticed a …

Thanks for giving it a try @nathank ! It’s still considered experimental and we will make changes to the API, so I wouldn’t build a homepage-builder-type theme component on top of it for now. The demo blocks are just basic examples. We also have some API changes coming up that will improve how we ca…

Finally I took the step and started to play a little with this. Thank you very much for sharing it. I wonder how possible could be to generate a custom block that displays the user’s avatar and name (which I’ve already achieved) along with their topic and posts count, likes, cheer points, and somet…

Sono riuscito a replicare in parte l’aspetto e lo stile di Meta utilizzando i blocchi. Funziona bene e sembra ottimo nella anteprima iniziale.

Qual è la tempistica prevista per una versione pronta per la produzione?
