<p><strong>SAAI Blocks</strong> is a WordPress block editor extension plugin. It provides highly customizable, unique custom blocks to enhance your website building experience.</p>
<h4>Source Code</h4>
<p>The full source code, including all uncompiled JavaScript, SCSS, and build configuration, is publicly available on GitHub:<br />
https://github.com/shinobiashi/saai-blocks</p>
<p>To rebuild the plugin assets from source:</p>
<ol>
<li>Clone the repository</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code> (this also runs <code>composer install</code> automatically)</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code> to produce the compiled assets in <code>assets/build/</code></li>
</ol>
<p>Build tools required: Node.js 18+, npm, webpack (via @wordpress/scripts)</p>
<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>The <strong>3D Model Viewer</strong> block uses Google’s open-source <code>model-viewer</code> web component (https://modelviewer.dev/).</p>
<p>When a visitor views a page containing a 3D model that uses Draco or KTX2 compression, the model-viewer component may load WebAssembly decoder files from Google’s static content CDN (gstatic.com). These decoders are only fetched on demand and are not loaded on every page view. No personal data is transmitted.</p>
<ul>
<li>Draco geometry decoder: <code>https://www.gstatic.com/draco/versioned/decoders/</code></li>
<li>KTX2 texture transcoder: <code>https://www.gstatic.com/basis-universal/versioned/</code></li>
<li>Lottie animation loader (if Lottie textures are used): <code>https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three/</code></li>
<li>Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>jsDelivr’s privacy policy: https://www.jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net</li>
</ul>
<p>If your 3D models do not use Draco compression, KTX2 textures, or Lottie animations (plain GLB files), no external requests are made.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<p>Currently, the plugin includes the following custom blocks:</p>
<p><strong>1. Breadcrumb Block Pro</strong><br />
A breadcrumb navigation block that includes SEO-friendly structured data.<br />
* Feature to toggle the visibility of the home link and current page<br />

Nasio Blocks


Since this plugin was published I started using it right away and it’s absolutely perfect. Every block loads instantly and works exactly as advertised—no glitches or bloat. The Post Slider and Gallery Slider blocks were a breeze to configure and look stunning right out of the box. The Accordion block handled FAQs flawlessly, and the Icon block’s custom icon swapping is super intuitive. I also love the flexible Buttons and Ads blocks for creating clear CTAs and ad placements. Everything is well-documented, performant, and truly lightweight. Highly recommend!
