Ever since we opened our doors – exactly 5 months ago today! – the site has been missing a key ingredient: a place to release lightweight add-ons. Add-ons that are simple enough that I couldn’t write a whole Overview page for if I tried, and have no need for public changelogs, documentation, or support links.

So today, we take the wraps off of a new section here on P&T.com: the Dive Bar.

We’ve got four new add-ons on tap for you downloading pleasure, and more on the way. They’re all free, so check them out!

Now that our website is out, our three big add-ons have been updated for EE2, and EECI has come and gone, I’ve finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel – all of my top priorities I had laid out for myself at the beginning of the year have been completed.

But now there’s this new, giant pile of other to-dos: big features that didn’t make it into Wygwam 2, Playa 3, or Matrix 2; website updates (like, you know, IE support…); opportunities to collaborate with others; and of course, new add-on ideas to explore.

After thinking things over, I’ve decided it’s time to wave the white flag. I can’t do it all – not without some help. So I’m looking to hire a PHP contractor or intern.

Let’s face it: you can’t name your company “Pixel & Tonic” and not have a drink named after it.

So we’ve been hard at work figuring out just what a Pixel & Tonic is made of. It’s been a true labor of love, and today, we’re excited to share our findings with you!

It’s been three months since Pixel & Tonic opened its doors. So much has happened since then (even beyond reaching 100% EE2-readiness), we felt it was time to show off some of what we’ve been up to.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the release of Matrix 2 for ExpressionEngine 1 and 2.

Matrix 2 is a complete rewrite of what was formerly called FF Matrix. We’ve added some great new features along the way:

Today we released a major update to Playa, everyone’s favorite relationship counselor!

Here are the big new features:

Well, we’re a month late, but our little Launch Giveaways have finally come about!

This is the fourth and final installment in a series about the design and development behind what is now Pixel & Tonic. Yesterday we looked at how we’re doing documentation. Today we’ll take a look at the other aspects of add-on management and commerce.

This is the third installment in a series about the design and development behind what is now Pixel & Tonic. Yesterday we looked at how the site is structured, and how we’re handling URLs. Today I’m going to focus on how I’m managing my product documentation.

This is the second installment in a series about the design and development behind what is now Pixel & Tonic. Yesterday we looked at the origin of the name and logo, and a bit of the design process. Today I’m going to focus on how the site is structured.
