 * Hello,
 * A feature that would be nice, would be to have some kind of “global” variable(
   a boolean for example) that would be tested for value to activate or no a block.
   My use case is that I have a dozen of pages where I have a specific block element
   that I want to activate/deactivate all at the same time, but not according to
   a time parameter. If there was a variable that could be tested…

 * Hi [@lstep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lstep/), this is a very interesting
   feature request, one that I had not thought of. But I can definitely see how 
   this could be very useful. Almost like “global visibility conditions” that a 
   block could “subscribe to”. Basically you could tell a block to follow whatever
   condition is provided by the global setting. Then you can just toggle the global
   condition and all the blocks that are “subscribed” to that condition get updated.
   Interesting…
 * I have a bunch of other development for this plugin on my plate at the moment,
   but I am adding this to the list for exploration. Thanks for making a ticket 
   on GitHub.
 * Best,
    Nick
