Pre-made (Gutenberg Block) Child Theme Designs

Hi, I am wondering how often new Gutenberg Block child themes are added, because the selection is pretty limited (and boring) at the moment. Could this please become a priority? Thank you!
Hi there,
Are you referring to the Site Library?: https://generatepress.com/site-library
If so, we're trying to add 2-3/month :)
Yes. That's good to hear; I've been checking for months and haven't seen new designs.
Can you please try to make the theme templates more dynamic / modern too? No offense intended, but (from an agency perspective) the designs that are in the Site Library look, well, a bit dated. We can't use them on client sites.
Here are some cool, modern examples:

I recommend you hire a couple of people to make these in Gutenberg Blocks, as (I'm sure you already know) Gutenberg is the way of the future and eventually nobody will use other page-builders; only Gutenberg.
The better your Site Library's themes are, the more Pro upgrades you'll get, so I'm sure you'll make your money back from developing them.
Adding sticky sidebars & header for blog post templates is needed too.
It would also be great if you'd do an email blast to all your customers each month with screenshots of the new themes you've added to the Site Library. :)
Much appreciated!
'Nelio Unlocker' is a tool that converts ANY website page/post/etc into WordPress using Gutenberg. You can use it to quickly make Gutenberg themes based on sites that have a nice design (like the ones I linked to above). Just set up GeneratePress child on a WordPress install, then use this tool to create a new theme in Gutenberg. You can then use CSSHero to tweak the design. Then just clean it up / optimize everything. It's pretty quick to pump out new themes this way.
