<h4>Editor-friendly blocks</h4>
<p>While diving into this project I’ve explored a few areas where I can improve my personal publishing flow. The first was bringing editor comments into Gutenberg with my <a href="https://richtabor.com/markdown-comment/?utm_source=wp-org&utm_medium=todo-list-block&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown Comment block</a>, and this Todo List block.</p>
<p>Todo List is a simple, editor-only block designed to quickly add tasks directly within the editor.</p>
<p>Todo List makes it easy to keep track of those tasks, all in the context of a particular post. You may also use it to add a publishing checklist to the post, such as using a headline analyzer, adding featured images, adding social images, etc.</p>
<h4>Transforms</h4>
<p>I’m a huge fan of blocks transforms and how they improve the WordPress publishing experience. Being able to morph a block into another, without loosing content/attributes, is a powerful way to level-up editing.</p>
<p>That saying, you may transform paragraph text, list items and even editorial comments added by Markdown Comment directly into actionable todos, just like you can in the iOS Notes app for example. You may even take multiple blocks of the sort and convert them all into a single todo list.</p>
<p>Todo List also supports block prefixes, which are keyboard shortcuts in a sense, to toss blocks in the editor with a few keystrokes. Adding <code>[]</code>, or <code>-[]</code> plus the <code>space</code> key will add a Todo List to the page.</p>


Todo List Block

It works as advertised, I just wish there were some more features such as:

- Font size & font color options (per list item).
- Option to also display on the front end.
- Option to indent each list item, so we can have "category" items. This (maybe) would  not be necessary if we had the choice to change the font color and size per list item.

On the other hand, this plugin as it is, is still very useful, and the zip file is only 16kb, so adding things in and multiplying the file size by a a lot, may be it won't be worth it.

Nevertheless, I am sticking to my 5 star rating for this.

Good Start.

Add todo lists to posts that render only within the block editor.

<p>Gutenberg is a great block editor but it does not come with a todo block.</p>
<p>You can now create to-do lists in WordPress Gutenberg editor.<br />
Your todo checkboxes will appear both on the <strong>frontend</strong> and <strong>backend</strong>. It will even keep the current state of the checkbox when shown on the frontend.</p>
<p>Logged-in users can save their checkbox selections (if enabled per checklist).</p>
<p>You can use this block to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add tasks to your posts and pages</li>
<li>Create a checklist of items</li>
<li>Let logged-in users save their selections</li>
<li>Set goals and track progress</li>
</ul>

Todo Block


Things I Wish:




I could use markdown to insert a checkbox, I should be able to type [] followed by a spacebar for example to insert or maybe [ ] followed by a spacebar



I could double tap enter to exit the block (instead of just keep creating new checkboxes)




Things I Like:




Read only option



No lag



Light in plugin size



It works and it's crisp... but needs some extra love.

Adds ToDo list block that shows checkboxes on frontend and backend of your site.
