<p>Blocks Animation allows you to add CSS Animations to all of your Gutenberg blocks in the most elegant way.</p>
<p>The UI for Blocks Animation feels so native and intuitive, you won’t even notice it’s installed. Just install, and you will see animation settings in all the blocks, right in the Block Settings Sidebar.</p>
<p>All the code and sources for this plugin are publicly available as part of https://github.com/Codeinwp/otter-blocks.</p>


Blocks Animation: CSS Animations for Gutenberg Blocks

Basically works very well and is elegantly integrated. But you have to do a lot of clicks to change loading animation for instance. there are 3 accordions you constantly have to open/close and inside it is kind of context menu so you get kind of lost. And when you edit a page you can not see on the first sight which elements have an animation added. Would be nice to have an indicator for that like an outline or an icon appended to the block.

works good but UI needs improvements


The perfect complement to bring life to the elements of my website.

Added the block to my site and after I saved the page, it resulting in a critical error on the page. I removed the plugin and deleted the block from the page manually and it still would not load the page.



Had to go find the revisions of the home page manually inside the database, delete those, and then my home page was accessible again. 



Sad because this has all the features I need, but doesn't work reliably. This is not the first time I've run into critical errors with this plugin 


Critical error after initial setup


It injects whole tailwind css with 29.628 css rules in the admin!For those who understand this, it is nothing more to say.


Very poor admin optimization
