We know, it’s only been a day since we released our API, but we have something nice for you today as well. In our quest to help people find better applications our latest project is a Wordpress plugin that you as a blogger can add to your post and display great alternatives to applications you write about.
The plugin is really simple to use. You just add the shortcode [alt2app app=firefox category=desktop] and it will add some basic info about the application and its top rated alternatives on AlternativeTo.
There are three different skins avaliable right now, but feel free to modify it the way you like it, or build your own plugin based on our API.
Default
Small
Minimal
Hopefully we will see more plugins in the future - both made by us and by the AlternativeTo user community. If you are a developer and have done something nice based on our API please let us know so we can tell our users about it.
We would also appreciate imput from experienced php and Wordpress developers on how to improve the plugin in any way.
You can download the plugin from the Wordpress plugin directory and you can always contact us on hello@alternativeto.net with any questions or suggestions. Enjoy!
