In reply to will skora.

That is a very interesting point Will, and the problem you describe on GitHub should have a two way solution. You want changes made in the static html files to "sync" with the database somehow, as I want is really the opposite. I want all the templates and template parts stored in the database to be exported, probably with a button and not automatically into html files, so we can just package the Theme in zip file (which will include all the changes, new templates, etc...), and pass it along.

Which brings us to the next point: How do you make child themes for these block based themes? I know it's possible, but I had no luck creating one for the Hansen theme, I even used the "child-theme-generator" plugin which works for regular themes.
