Thank you for the write up wptavern and Justin Tadlock! 🙏

For the next release (later this week), we will be bumping all the way up to version 1.0.0. 🎉 Features include: ✅ Icon library with all available #WordPress icons ✅ Improved custom icon insertion experience ✅ Refined block placeholder More info coming soon...

Version 1.0.0 is here with a whole new icon insertion experience! Custom icons now get their own modal with a nice big text area and preview area. And of course, v1.0.0 includes the full #WordPress icon library!⚡️ v1.1.0 will improve icon categorization in the library.

Thanks Brian! 🙏

Woot woot, 100 active installs! 🎉

It's been a little quiet over here, but keep an eye out for version 1.1.0 as we get ready for the WordPress 5.9 release later this month! ⚡️

Version 1.1.1 is available now! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ wordpress.org/plugins/icon-b…

Woot woot! We just passed 1000 active users! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ wordpress.org/plugins/icon-b…

Version 1.2.0 was just released and includes many requested features. The most important is that you can now register your own custom icon library. ⚡️ Learn how 👉 nickdiego.com/adding-custom-…

Woot woot! There are now 2000+ websites actively using the Icon Block. Here's to the next 1000! ⚡️

I am not sure when it happened, been a hectic few weeks 😅 — but The Icon Block is now being used on 3,000 websites. 🙌 Looking for a #WordPress product to build or a fun side project, custom niche blocks are a great place to start.

One year ago, I released the The Icon Block after struggling to find an efficient way to add SVG icons to the Editor. Today, it's one of my favorite side projects with over 4,000 users. Version 1.3.0 came out last week and allows you to do even more. 👇 nickdiego.com/icon-block-tur…

Knocked out a few feature requests today 💪 The Icon Block will soon have a new width control that supports more units or those specified in theme.json. Icon height control was also added along with a new settings panel design. Version 1.4.0 will release next week! ⚡️

.The Icon Block just hit 9,000 users. Not too bad for a single-block plugin I build for myself back in 2021. Perhaps it's because blocks are becoming more widely adopted, but I'm seeing really strong growth in the past 6 months. Currently at +1,000 users every ~25 days! 🤯

With over 10,000 users, I'm trying something new for v1.5.0 of The Icon Block. Each major release will now have a "Release Candidate". Use the link below to download and test RC1. I'm really excited about this one! Drop zones + Media Library uploads = 😍 github.com/ndiego/icon-bl…

Just released v1.6.0, and we're all ready for WordPress 6.3. 💪 A couple highlights: ✅ Plugin now requires WordPress 6.2 ✅ Added 21 new icons that were included in 6.2 ✅ Color controls now use the native color panel The min version was bumped for new block features in 6.2.

An exciting day... Block Visibility and The Icon Block have each hit 20,000 users within the past week and have more than a combined 300,000 downloads. 🤯 Thank you to everyone who has used either plugin, logged issues, provided feedback, etc. I would not be where I am today

Your daily reminder that WordPress development can and should be fun. Does The Icon Block need full rotational support? Maybe not, but this makes me happy. 🍕
