What is Dorik?

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

What is Spectra?

Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.7 fixes headers on block themes as the fidelity work continues.

Spectra Blocks spent the autumn on fidelity: matching editor previews to live sites, fixing classic-theme spacing and Site Editor alignment, and letting its content count toward Yoast and Rank Math. 1.0.14 improved front-end loading and Slider accessibility, 1.0.15 added custom HTML attributes, and Pro 1.0.7 fixes per-page headers on Full Site Editor themes along with Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal rendering.

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

◆ Current state

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

◆ Where it's heading

Since the plan restructuring, the visible work has been maintenance. The agency-facing features suggested by the new tier have not appeared in the feed, and the cadence has dropped to about one short note every two months.

◆ Prediction

Expect more template batches and small editor fixes. No agency capabilities are visible yet, so whether they arrive is unclear.

5.0

Spectra Blocks Pro 1.0.7 fixes headers on block themes as the fidelity work continues.

◆ Current state

Spectra Blocks spent the autumn on fidelity: matching editor previews to live sites, fixing classic-theme spacing and Site Editor alignment, and letting its content count toward Yoast and Rank Math. 1.0.14 improved front-end loading and Slider accessibility, 1.0.15 added custom HTML attributes, and Pro 1.0.7 fixes per-page headers on Full Site Editor themes along with Loop Builder, Countdown and Modal rendering.

◆ Where it's heading

After the AI page import push in September, releases have been about trust in the output: render it correctly, make it count for SEO, now make it fast and accessible. The Pro add-on follows the same cadence with design-token and dynamic-data fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect accessibility passes on other interactive blocks such as tabs or accordions, following the Slider, alongside further Pro fix rounds.
