Random Image Block for Block Editor


Orignal review before big update (3*): I tried a whole day to let ChatGPT or other AI's write a plugin like this and they all failed. I'm so happy I found this plugin! Great work. 



But, in its current state, it's quite limited.



You don't see the selected images in the sidebar, you can't resize the image, it doesn't make the images responsive... 



The basic options are there but I'd love to see more options to tweak it to my liking.

Review of v1.0.1 (4*):



Ok, we are getting there. A bit more options. Sadly, this plugin went for a PRO version for various options. I totally understand people needing to make money and keeping the company afloat. I'm quite thankful that there is a "life time" option for the license. :) 



While you would have the impression that this plugin isn't responsive in the free version since you can't edit the mobile and tablet views in the free version, my testing tells otherwise. Maybe that can be communicated better to the user. 



I highly dislike how the plugin puts their options and upsell underneath the "settings". I'd love it having it's own menu-item. Since it's better to explain to clients to say: "WordPress options go here and plugin options go here". 



A big thumbs up from me as a polyglot to make this plugin translate-able. A lot of devs forget about this but not here :) (PS, the upgrade message in the block editor from index.js is forgotten to be tagged as translate-able)



The devs are setting steps in the right direction and this plugin has a lot of promise. At it's current state it is still a bit rough around the edges and limited but I'm convinced that with more development this plugin can be something quite unique and amazing.
