Erik Reagan Releases a Developer Toolbar

Erik Reagan has released the initial version of his ER Developer Toolbar extension. Here’s the skinny:

This extension was born out of an embed template that I have used on nearly all of my projects. It started as just a div anchored to the top left corner of my browser window on the site front-end that gave me quick links to general site preferences, extension manager, plugin manager, etc. Then I read a tip on EE Insider by Jason Morehead about having the elapsed_time and total_queries posted in a similar fashion. After marrying the two together I turned the box into a toolbar-shape and anchored it to either the top or bottom of my window depending on the front-end design of the site I was working on at the time.

This looks to be an excellent tool for the old toolbox, and I look forward to Erik developing it further.
