During this Hallway Hangout, we had a casual conversation about how you can create custom design tools for blocks from a theming perspective.

Based on Justin's latest article series for the WordPress Developer Blog, attendees learned when to move beyond the Block Styles API and create their own custom controls. We also discussed the current limitations of theme development and how block development can be used to extend block themes.
