The editor is just the beginning
“The web up until this point has been confined to some sort of rectangular screen. But that is not how it’s going to be. Gutenberg has the potential of moving us into the next time.”
Build with Modern Technology
Gutenberg was developed on GitHub using the WordPress REST API, JavaScript, and React.
Design for Compatibility
We recommend migrating features to blocks, but support for existing WordPress functionality remains. There will be transition paths for shortcodes, meta-boxes, and Custom Post Types.
