Extra Chill Content Blocks
Reusable Gutenberg blocks for content creation across the Extra Chill platform.
Purpose
This plugin owns the shared extrachill/* content blocks so they can be used on any site that activates the plugin, starting with the main blog and extending to Studio and Community.
It is the content-block layer for:
extrachill-blogextrachill-studioextrachill-community
Blocks

| Trivia | Interactive multiple-choice trivia questions with scoring |
| Image Voting | Image-based polls with email capture and newsletter integration |
| Rapper Name Generator | Generates rapper stage names based on user input |

Namespace
All blocks keep the portable extrachill/* namespace for saved-content compatibility and cross-site reuse.
