Pick for 5/23: CurrencyReminder (new)

[Seerah]

CurrencyReminder:



Do you forget how many Frost Emblems you have when at the vendors? Hate to keep opening up your currency window to find out? CurrencyReminder adds how much you have of each currency to the top of the vendor window for you to see while you shop. The nifty thing is that it only displays the currency type for the vendor you are at!

Shop with peace of mind, and download the addon here.



For previous Picks of the Week, see here.

Are you the author of a mod that you think belongs in this spotlight? Just upload/update it to WoWInterface, and it will automatically be considered for that week's Pick.

Decent pick, sure to save several moments of frustration.

I personally would have voted for TinyDPS, but this one was decent as well, downloaded

TinyDPS is good and all, but I don't think it deserves to be 'Addon of the Week'. The way I see it, the featured addons should be those which bring something not seen before, or at least not done in such a good way - TinyDPS is just a DPS meter that's a lot more lightweight than most (I would say that Skada is just as lightweight but with more functions, but that's an entirely different argument).

Also, I think you guys should start doing two picks each week, or pick slightly more beefy addons. I do watch this space like a hawk, but it's a bit disappointing when I see one tiny little mod or addon which works straight out of the box and doesn't really require my time or attention. Just a thought.

Guys, these threads aren't for bashing mods, or saying that "mod [x] is better", etc. Cut it out.

From our original news post about the PotW feature:

We're starting a new feature on the site. Every week our staff will pick one new and/or one updated mod from the previous week on our site and give you a brief subjective overview of the mod. This will give authors a chance to have their mod showcased and users a chance to discover mods that they may not have been aware of previously.

Seerah chose to highlight CurrencyReminder. It's a new mod that people may not be aware of. That's the whole idea of the PotW. Nothing more, nothing less.

Please don't make us have to reconsider this feature.

Hey, I never bashed anything. And that was just a little 'aside' about TinyDPS. And am I not allowed to give a little suggestion?

Sorry for being straight-forward about this, but why was Exonumist chosen a few weeks back then? The exact same feature had Altoholic already for a long time, this author just stripped it down to a standalone mod. It's the same thing if u ask me.
