Thanks for that cool contribution,
it's really a great approach to provide granular functionnalities.
Maybe one day I'll be able to build a website using such blocks and
just make the design ?

I just installed the gem, but I don't get how to have an independent
instance of the package. Shouldn't it be provided as a generator
instead ?
