New NexterWP Theme

December 2, 2021
The same team that creates the Plus Addons recently released the first version of their NexterWP Theme. Nexter can be used with their Elementor add or their new Gutenberg plugin for creating content templates. This is another take on a theme builder. At this point is limited, but I am curious to see how this shapes up as it is developed further.
