Playa wins Extension of the Year

December 21, 2008

I’m proud to announce that Playa, my little one-to-many relationship field extension for ExpressionEngine, has just won Extension of the Year in Devot:ee’s First Annual AcademEE Awards.

Yeah, it’s that good. It’s that useful. ExpressionEngine is a very powerful CMS for one reason (among many): relating entries. But it only goes so far. There is no native one-to-many custom field type. Epic FAIL! That’s where Playa (get it? Playa, multiple relationships…) comes in and saves the day, and with a very easy to use field type to boot. Move your entries from left to right, and then move them up and down to re-order them. If you haven’t used Playa on a site build up to now, we can probably guess a couple things: Your sites aren’t very complex; or you simply do some things the HARD way. Clients love it. You’ll love it too, you playa, you.

As if that’s not cool enough, Gypsy was a runner-up for Extension of the Year as well, and I was a runner-up for Developer of the Year.

It’s very rewarding to see my work praised alongside such greats as LG Better Meta and Solspace’s User module. Many thanks to Ryan Masuga for the recognition, and congratulations to the other winners!
