Beschreibung
Inblock Smooth Blocks adds subtle and elegant micro-interactions to native Gutenberg blocks.
Unlike block styles, these effects are additive. You can keep existing styles (Fill, Outline, As Link, etc.) and enhance them without replacing anything.
Current features:
Button block:
• Animated icons (Arrow right , Arrow left , Arrow up , Arrow down , Arrow external )
• Hover shadow (Border, Raise)
Navigation block:
• Smooth submenu caret rotation
Group block:
• Underline reveal on links inside the group
All animations respect user accessibility preferences (prefers-reduced-motion).
Lightweight by design. No frontend JavaScript. No external dependencies.
