Description
Let's empower designers to build block themes with a dedicated builder tool available directly from WordPress.org.
As a designer, I would:
- Go to wordpress.org/theme/create
- Choose a parent theme to fork (or not)
- Make any customizations I need
- Close my browser tab and return later without losing my progress
- Click a "Submit to theme directory" button
I could also:
- Load my existing theme from the theme directory
- Make changes
- Submit the updated version with a click of a button
This workflow could potentially also offer the GitHub export and import feature.
Open questions
Before this project starts, there are some questions to answer:
- What other ingredients are required to submit a block theme?
- readme.txt – how should the designer edit that in block theme builder?
- ...what else?
What important factors is this issue missing @beafialho @jasmussen @mtias ?
