Knowledge Base: Alternate Plugins, Widgets, Addons and Extras
Plugins
While Hoptoad is primarily geared toward use with the Ruby on Rails Framework, our API is open, and several enterprising developers have worked to provide support for alternate frameworks or alternate plugin implementations for Rails.
While we don't actively support these alternatives, we encourage you to try them out to see if they meet your needs.
As of February 1, 2010, we are shutting down the deprecated V1 Notifier API in favor of the new V2 Notifier API. Several unofficial plugins do not yet support the V2 Notifier API. You can find them on the Alternate Plugins using the deprecated V1 Notifier API page.
If you have an Alternate Plugin, Addon, and Extra for use with Hoptoad, please let us know
