Lots of web editors are using blocks. You can insert a paragraph or heading or image in Wordpress; you can insert a to-do list, toggle heading, quotes in Notion.
But these blocks haven’t been standardized, which means the blocks look different across platform and developers are having to create them from scratch each time.
The [Block Protocol](https://blockprotocol.org/) is trying to change that.
It’s free and non-proprietary and creators including Joel Spolsky want it to be standardized across embedding applications. Anyone can develop a block type, and block types with the same form and functionality can be added wherever blocks are supported.
I love this because I’ve been thinking about how universally-applied tagging would change how we share information. Curious if this is almost an early form of that.
