Thank you Josh and James for building this. I love that I can download Gutenberg-
compatible plugins to test on GutenBridget.com. The buttons look great and the work
very well. Thank you. The weird part for me is not seeing the preview or a save 
option when I add the block. I just updated the post and boom, it worked. The other
thing that is a tiny bit of a bummer, though I suspect it’s because I don’t have
a block template yet, is that I have to add it to each post manually. Whereas with
Mashshare, I just tell it to be on all posts. I cannot wait to see how you iterate
this plugin. I’m so excited about this. Thank you Bridget Willard BridgetWillard.
