The idea is neat, but I think using JS on the front-end is a bit overkill and bad for the UX. The layout is created on when the document finishes loading, so with a bad network or a heavy content on the page it looks jumpy.

I’d use a specific class on the wrapper element, like first-col-XXX, where the XXX is the width of the first column. And then I’d use CSS to style the first child, like flex-basis: XXX and so on..

Range control displayed under ‘Column Width’ does not show up. When it’s fixed and works I’ll update review.

After installing this plugin, all my existing columns took on the variable column’s width settings. This plugin is not limited to only its own variable column block.

This Variable column can only create two columns in a row and change the width only for those two. We could not add more columns using this.

I liked the concept, and the interface of changing column proportion was easy. However, two deal breakers when used on the final WordPress block editor (on WP 5.0.3):

1. It breaks the CSS for the standard WP columns on the front end

2. It behaves like a block, not a block container. With standard WP columns, I can add sub-blocks underneath. This just gives me one single content area, that is difficult to format within.
