Although most of my WordPress plugin development work has been for clients, I have also created two free open-source WordPress plugins which are available to download and install via the official WordPress Plugin Directory.
Air Quality Data from Foobot
When I was working on the Foobot website project, Adrien kindly sent me a Foobot device so I could better understand their product. I must admit: I started getting a little bit obsessed with the quality of the air in my office and home, especially having 3 young kids. Learning Foobot had a public API, I knew I had to build a plugin to show off that data. And so was born Air Quality Data from Foobot!

Multilingual Comment Moderation
Another client project, another open source idea. This time, the idea was Multilingual Comment Moderation. While working on the Khyenste Foundation web project, I was asked to fix a minor annoyance they were suffering: users were commenting in multiple languages, yet the moderation emails all went to the same address and had to be forwarded. I developed a small WPML add-on to handle this painlessly, and the team found it useful. Why not see if other people find it useful, too? So I published it to the plugin directory.
