Experience
- Another Unit Converter (Development)https://github.com/smilingrobots/another-unit-converter/
A WordPress plugin that allows visitors to see the currency amounts displayed in their local or preferred currency. No shortcodes or widgets are necessary because the plugin monitors posts and pages to identify currency amounts within the content.
On the front end, visitors are allowed to click on the detected amounts and display them in one of the supported currencies. When the currency for one amount changes, all amounts in the page are automatically converted as well. - jQuery Timepicker (Development)http://timepicker.co
jQuery Timepicker is a plugin that helps users to select or type time strings.
The plugin enhances standard form input fields to parse the most used time representations—allowing users to enter the time using their preferred way of writing it.
