Easy Add-on Packages with Pkg.io

What in the world is Pkg.io?

Go Tar Heels!

It’s an add-on package builder for ExpressionEngine! Built by Greg Aker, Pascal Kriete and Marcus Neto, who also happen to be employees of EllisLab. The package builder allows you to easily create add-on packages for your ExpressionEngine add-ons.

Greg explains:

At this time, it’s an addon skeleton maker for ExpressionEngine developers. What we’re most happy with, is someone with no knowledge of PHP will be able to make an accessory to use on their client sites. We think we have some fun things in store, but wanted to get something out now.

This is a great developer utility and we definitely need more of this stuff for ExpressionEngine users and developers. Bravo!
