Hi Henrik, thanks again for the series. Are you planning on extending it to cover expanding the page builder into a more complete one? Also, do you have any ideas on how to implement previews on the wp side?

What exactly would you consider a more complete page builder? Do you mean just more ACF layouts, that together make it possible to design a more or less complete website?
If that is of interest, I surely could build some standard sections within this starter project. Its pretty simple to add layouts yourself though, which I wanted to teach with this tutorial. So everyone can built it to their needs.

I do. I already managed to implement previews in a personal project. It's possible to use the posts's draft data for it. So the idea is to have some sort of preview.js page, that uses Apollo GraphQL queries to dynamically fetch from your WordPress GraphQL endpoint. The way I wrote the queries with template strings, give you the possibility to reuse those queries for your dynamic content (with some little refactoring).
I want to talk about previews in one of the upcoming tutorial parts. I can't tell you when though, as my time is limited at the moment.

Yeah, I had to familiarise myself with ACF - I initially thought that it would work like drag-and-drop page builders such as elementor :)
Thanks for the preview tips and looking forward to any upcoming parts.
