WritePoetry is the umbrella under which we find a WordPress plugin and the block-based theme BlankSpace.

This is a work in progress, so don’t focus on the current state of the project but rather on its potential.

The main goal of both the plugin and the theme is to speed up website development, so all features are designed to assist developers in creating projects.

Example of what WritePoetry does not do:

• It is not a backup tool for WordPress sites.
• It does not handle security or secure a WordPress site.

Example of what WritePoetry does:

• The api-fetcher block, which displays data retrieved from an API.

Examples of what BlankSpace does/will do:

• Automatic loading of JavaScript and CSS scripts placed in the following folders:
  • assets/css
  • assets/js
  • assets/blocks
  • assets/plugins
• Utility CSS classes in a Bootstrap-like style.
