It should be WordPress Native
This is a promising great plugin that takes the WordPress Gutenberg a step forward & makes life much easier & site building more fun. Colors cards are great.
It can be used combined with other good Gutenberg blocks plugins as Spectra & Kadence (not fully).
Since it is based on Gutenberg it is better speed optimized than Elementor.
While I believe it is a great choice to buy, & that I'll build all next sites using it, I also want to mention the cons:
1. It cannot be used offline & when not connected also to Maxiblocks website. I like many times to build offline (fully undistracted) & for me it is a disadvantage.
2. There is no shortcut or easy way to migrate from Elementor to Maxiblocks. I mention it because while preferring it on Elementor, I would like not to renew my Elementor payments & migrate these sites to Maxiblocks.
3. There are still many missing features, however, according to the roadmap we'll see them in the future, while meantime need to use third party solutions or our own coding.
Yet, I believe it is a very good & fun & rich choice to build a new website.
Thanks

May 9, 2024Thanks for the great feedback! We will be working on easier ways go from Element*r to MaxiBlocks as we expand on the AI builder. As for getting your data out from other planforms there's much progress here: https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/
>>> 1. It cannot be used offline & when not connected also to Maxiblocks website.
ANSWER: Yes and No
1. If you are NOT connected to the internet the cloud library won't load for obvious reasons. It's many many gigabytes of data.
2. BUT you can use all pro templates you downloaded already WITHOUT internet. Everything in the builder, plugin, blocks, features works offline - no limits. You just need a local install of WordPress - use something like https://localwp.com/ (download all the patterns you need and then use it without internet)
3. Or you can build from scratch with MaxiBlocks plugin & theme and WordPress all for FREE locally without internet. Pro access accounts are just for the templates to save you time. The plugin and theme is all open source. Get it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxi-blocks/
