Using Post Kinds with Gutenberg for the time being

[pauljacobson]

I understand that Post Kinds doesn't currently support Gutenberg. I'm curious whether there is any value keeping the plugin enabled with Gutenberg active? What I'm curious about is whether this still enables me to add Post Kinds-related metadata to my posts, despite using Gutenberg?

If so, then if you do add support for Gutenberg down the line, I'll at least have this metadata in my posts, and it will become more useful.

It has no functionality for it right now. And you can have the Classic Editor activated but still use Gutenberg.

I have struggled to figure out how this works in a Gutenberg world. Gutenberg seems to be more for articles then other types of posts

@dshanske

gutenberg works just fine for all the WP post formats, so to suggest its 'more for articles' isn't really correct.

It's great for exactly this purpose, custom 'posts' that present/build up differently. Check out what they're doing with some of the WooCommerce blocks, like they have blocks for products and other woo objects, I propose we could similarly do blocks for each post kind.

My statement was an overgeneralization.
