This i very nice, compact and clean. Well done sir! 🥇

Have you tried livewire with gutenberg and if so, do they play nice?

I messed around a little bit inside of custom metaboxes inside of /wp-admin/ but not with the actual editor.

This is amazing.

@Log1x have you thought about how to handle the global WP_Query since the acorn endpoints will have all is* values false.
Whilst on first load some may be true.

  +is_single: false
  +is_preview: false
  +is_page: false
  +is_archive: false
  +is_date: false
  +is_year: false
  +is_month: false
  +is_day: false
  +is_time: false
  +is_author: false
  +is_category: false
  +is_tag: false
  +is_tax: false
  +is_search: false
  +is_feed: false
  +is_comment_feed: false
  +is_trackback: false
  +is_home: false
  +is_privacy_policy: false
  +is_404: false
  +is_embed: false
  +is_paged: false
  +is_admin: false
  +is_attachment: false
  +is_singular: false
  +is_robots: false
  +is_favicon: false
  +is_posts_page: false
  +is_post_type_archive: false

first load

  +is_tax: true

acorn endpoints from same page the result is basicly new WP_Query()

  +is_tax: false

right now im gonna store the ones i need i just wanted to know if had any good thoughts :)

Cheers and keep up the good work ❤️
