History

Ryan Masuga had the idea for devot:ee in September 2008 while shooting hoops in the office. The only place to get extensive ExpressionEngine add-on related information was in the ExpressionEngine forums. At the time, there weren’t any objective, organized, third-party sites to take it any further. Ryan took his meticulously organized collection of EE add-ons culled from various corners of the web and put together the initial devot:ee catalog.

ExpressionEngine doesn’t have the reach of other major platforms or CMSs. There is a lot of room to grow, and if we can help facilitate that in some way, it will be better for all of us who use ExpressionEngine. Informed, educated users and developers will mean better add-ons and more – which will make building sites with EE an even more enjoyable experience than it already is.

The site officially launched on May 1, 2009, with around 300 add-ons in the catalog. The add-on store was added a year later. devot:ee is now the most visited third-party site for the ExpressionEngine platform.
