We missed an update last week. Simple oversight with so many things going on here.

Discussions Happening in the devot:ee Forums

We recently launched the devot:ee forums, and we already have our first huge discussion going on, in this case about paid support options for ExpressionEngine developers. Whether you use add-ons, create them, or both, this is an interesting dicussion if you have a care about the EE add-on and development ecosystem. 

There are other discussions going on as well. Check them out!

Teespring Shirt

We launched a Teespring t-shirt campaign for our 5th birthday, but it doesn't look like this shirt is going to get printed. We'll try again with another design soon. We have a couple ideas for shirts that might be more interesting!

New Add-ons This Week

• Time From Now by jbueler (jbueler)
  Time from now will let you add a string modifier to the current time and will return a datetime string in its place. This would be useful for performing channel entries loops with the start_on and stop_before parameters. This will let you use dynamic dates in situations where you may have had to enable PHP before.
• Hop Fasta ($) by Hop Studios
  A Hop Studios Accessory that puts a Quick Update button on the Template editor.
• Resizer by Caddis
  Use Resizer to to resize, cache, and retrieve images with a number of options.
• Codeebird by Dan Herd
  An ExpressionEngine wrapper for the Codebird PHP Twitter library.
