Thanks for not having over-featured block. It is enough, not too much. Perfect! I just have one or two issues. The “BUY PRO” In Gallery block settings, it is too agresive. I won’t use this on my client’s page because of this, it is ok to have the menu element with buy pro, but AD in the Editor above “Advanced” is a bit … ugly practice. Again, THIS ALONE was a reason why I did not use this block. Icon, I really don’t like custom color icons, as If I add third party blocks I end up with messy rainbow-ish editor icons. This is not great for UX perespective.

I love what I’m seeing so far. I have been looking for a lightweight gallery plugin that has masonry layouts for a long time. Too many of the other options are bloated by features that most people don’t need. This plugin has just what I need.

Installed the free version of this plugin on multiple WordPress websites and it works great. If you are using default Gutenberg to create your website then you can try using this plugin to create image galleries.

This is a very nice plugin that is very well integrated with Gutenberg (using the native gallery editor, much better than e.g. Qi Blocks). Good work! My only request would be an option to control the gap size between images (it is easy to override it using custom CSS though, for the time being).
