User testing the Gutenberg editor

Anna Harrison recently ran unit tests of the new Gutenberg editor with seven participants. The results can be found in her post »User Testing the Gutenberg Editor«, including videos. Even if there were still some problems, the participants loved the minimalist and modern direction of the Gutenberg editor.

And because she is a »total UX nerd«, she also tested the tests and wrote down the results in the post »Testing the Gutenberg User Test«.
