Toolbelt
A collection of simple addons that provide every day functionality with privacy and speed. There’s very few options, and no unnecessary filler. It does exactly what it needs to do and nothing else.
Toolbelt takes a privacy first approach to adding features. Everything happens on your server. No data is sent to third party servers without your explicit consent. No data is loaded from third parties (for example social sharing scripts).
Taking inspiration from Jetpack I want to rebuild the features I use the most and make them as simple and fast as possible.
Toolbelt has been featured on The WordPress Tavern in an interview with me. You can read more about the creation of the plugin and my desire for a more private internet.
Gutenberg Blocks
Some of the Toolbelt modules include blocks to make working with the generated content easier. The available blocks are:
- Contact Form – The simplest way to have people get in touch. Works with the spam module.
- Post Categories – A category content list for magazine and newspaper themes.
- Simple Slider – A fast, CSS powered slider. No JavaScript and easy to edit.
- Projects Grid – to list a collection of projects. These can be filtered by project category.
- Testimonials Grid – to list a group of testimonials. Great for showing off!
