Big Plans for Extendably

Written by Josh on Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Well thank you for following Extendably so far!

We’ve been going for over a month now and have enjoyed regular and steady growth. We still have a long way to go before reaching TechCrunch style dominance but I’m sure the PR reps will be emailing before we know it.

There is a lot of work which still needs to be done and hopefully over the next few weeks you’ll start to see that. You may have noticed the two buttons up the top for ‘Resources’ and a ‘Directory’, well we have big plans for those.

Our resources sections should be up within a few days. Within that we will be providing our own plugins and extensions for you to download as well as some other content such as reviews and tutorials.

The directory is a little more ambitious and is really the main object of this website. I realised that while software like Firefox and WordPress have literally thousands of extensions available, 90% of users would only use around 10% of these if that.

I wanted a directory which simply showcased the very best extensions for applications, as well as providing additional resources. We hope to deliver that in a CrunchBase style widget following each post and to create a unique online resource.

Also expect more content from this blog itself, we are aiming for more specific extension reviews and possibly even some of the always popular ‘top 10’ lists.

Subscribe, comment and send me feedback! I’d love to hear from you.

Good luck on everything. :)

As for feedback - what's the purpose of this strange disqus thingy?.. I'd prefer normal comment form with "Subcribe-to-comments" plugin.

Disqus has a lot of advantages... it's a plugin aimed to creating one profile and account which can be used across all Disqus enabled blogs... if people use it.

It takes care of a lot of things like Spam protection, threaded comments, moderation, comment voting in just one plugin... much easier then mucking around with several for WP.

If you create a Disqus profile then there isn't a need for subscribe to comments, any comments you make on a Disqus blog you'll be able to see the replies to etc.

Yeah, and if I don't create that profile (like other 99.99% of Internet probably) ? :)

Problem with such centralized stuff that it somewhat breaks common experience.

Agree, but if everyone adopts it, it'll be a success and it'll work =P that's why I am. 30, 000 blogs so far is pretty good...

kinda the 'chicken or the egg' situation

As far as disqus, I love it. I just started using it, and its so much easier to post a comment and move on. Its more convenient, and you only fill the form out one time.
I really like Extendably, Im glad i found this site. Ive only been on about 1 week, but so far i love it. The information is straight to the point,, its easy to find, and most of all, I trust it. Thanks for starting this site !!

Well thank you! It's really great to hear that =)

As I said in my post, what your seeing now is just the beginning... with time I want it to develop into a really useful resource for all thing extensions related.

Expect the resources section up by this afternoon, or at least some time this week =)
