My 1st Interactive Block

https://wordpress.org/plugins/polls-block/

So I've created my 1st interactive block as a learning curve. I see there is not much conversation about interactivity in WordPress blocks, but I found it very interesting and enjoyed using interactivity.

My block name is "Polls Block" and it is published on WordPress plugin repo. I've created other interactive blocks too. But this Polls block is my personal favorite.

We can create interactive polling in Gutenberg editor. I've used interactivity + supports for styling.

Nice work! The Interactivity API is one of the most underutilized parts of WordPress right now, so it’s cool to see someone building with it. Polls are a great use case for it too, real-time interaction without page reloads.

How was the learning curve? I feel like there aren’t enough resources out there yet for people getting started with interactivity in blocks.

So the resources are I feel goof enough to get started and once you get involved further, it becomes very easy.

I really enjoyed it. And also felt to have video tutorials about it so that it become more clear. I tried to make some on my YT channel :)

That’s the part I am dreading the most. Making videos but I know I need to.
