This is how plugins should work. No fanfare, upsells, or graffiti on the dashboard. No nag to buy a premium version like every other plugin that does the same job. Except this does it better – it’s very clean, feels like a core block, and just works. A perfect job.

This should definitely be integrated into WordPress core, it’s very respectful of WordPress Gutenberg’s way, perfectly integrated, light and simple.
Thanks!

Add a ‘Copy Link’ option.

Thanks to the developer, it’s an excellent plugin that does exactly what I missed in Gutenberg Builder. Clean and straightforward.
The buttons library is already rich. I hope more buttons are added in the future (Facebook Messenger and Mastodon).
