The most important thing for me is that it works with WP 6.6, as another plugin solution that I had, stopped working with v6.6. So thank you very much for this plugin.

After developing for many years with gutenberg/blocks I can confidently say: This is easily one of the most missing basic features for authoring experience. Shame this isn’t part of the core and kudos to the author.
OMG. How could Gutenberg have been released, ever, without this simple, little feature?! WordPress should pay millions to integrate this plugin in the next release!
Seriously. Took me years to understand the “logic” of how to move Gutenberg metaboxes from below the content to the right, into the sidebar. And back.
Together with this little plugin, the Resizable Editor Sidebar, this semi-ugly UX of Gutenberg begins to shine. Finally.
Thank you ever so much for all the efforts!
As of today, only 900 downloads. Unbelievable. Should easily grow to 9.000, 90.000, 900.000, 9.000.000. Let’s spread the word!

I have ACF fields in the sidebar and a wider bar accommodates them much better, thanks ??
I’m OK with the ad when you resize, but have you thought about an add free paid version?

Cool and lightweight plugin, perfect with ACF Blocks, but there is a bug in the current Version. Gutenberg Options stays at 300px.
