gutenberg
The Block Editor project for WordPress and beyond. Plugin is available from the official repository.
Gutenberg as part of the core has added modern capabilities for building sites on the frontend. Blocks, a high-level component resembling React’s, are the basic unit to build a webpage’s frontend nowadays. In my opinion, shortcodes, custom fields and metaboxes will soon be a thing of the past, while Gutenberg will probably take over as a full development platform.
