A great start
by
This by far has the most custom fields options for any gutenberg plugin I've seen so far. While those fields are determined per page (versus per block) it's presentation of those fields is much better integrated with the Gutenberg editor than other well known plugins like ACF which still lacks proper Gutenberg support. Please keep developing this project!
Not the same functionality as traditional custom fields
by
A typical theme that we use allows editors to use any number of specific custom fields to add additional content to a page, such as a field for microdata. There are quite a number of possible fields but it would be rare to use more than just a few, so it's pretty unweildly to be presented with a complete list of all possible choices. Such a list might be useable if presented in the traditional way on a pulldown list, but as this plugin stands now it's fairly cumbersome. At first i could not find the custom fields at all, until i realized that they are only visible in the visual editor -- somewhere i rarely go when working on a site. With this plugin, custom fields are only available for new posts, but not for existing content. And there does not appear to be any way with this plugin to access existing custom fields on existing content or to add new custom fields to existing content. With some improvements this might be a good tool for new sites that use Gutenberg from the get-go, but it is completely dysfunctional for existing sites.
Not a viable replacement for custom fields
by
Gutenberg is great, but I need a way to associate arbitrary key-value pairs with posts. The post-meta-as-block paradigm doesn't make sense for many use cases, and having to pre-commit to a set of meta values with a template is a bit stifling. This plugin is a more useful alternative: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-fields-gutenberg/
Nice

I had no idea that Gutenberg could do custom fields until I saw your post and then I tried your plugin. The plugin helps me to understand more about what Gutenberg is capable of. Thanks for making it!
Great thing

just great
Very promising & exicting
by
This plugin is very promising and it's very easy to use. I hope that the equivalent of ACF Repeater field and ACF Relationship field are added soon. Also, being able to save the CPT meta data in custom database tables is essential for metadata searching and reporting. It's well documented that searching the wp_postmeta table is painfully slow.
