About Greenshift
Greenshift's arc: from a Gutenberg block pack to a full builder, now spun out white-label.
Greenshift is a Gutenberg-native block and page-builder plugin. The visible entries span 2023 to 2025 and show it maturing from a block collection into a full builder (class system, StyleBook, variable builder, interaction APIs) while branching into WooCommerce commerce blocks and, most recently, a white-label standalone (GreenLight). The feed mixes real release notes with the occasional editorial post.
