I was wondering if there is a place that people can list their own property editors for other devs to use. Do people use nuget or the umbraco package repository?
Yesterday I made a small property editor that takes a string for a url and formats it to a friendly format (all lowercase, replace space with dashes, ...).
Maybe someone already made something like that? Or other people would like to use my property editor as well? Does umbraco have an ecosystem for this?
Generally people will share their Umbraco packages on our.umbraco.org; that is the historically the place to announce and give details about a package.
Users of the package can feedback to the community by voting for the package, and discuss it / seek help via the forum; and report version compatibility.
You, the package dev, will receive Kama points when your package is downloaded.
It's also worth searching through these to see if your killer package idea has been done before or if similar exists that is open source and can be enhanced with your idea; rather than creating near duplicate releases.
However so many people are using Nuget now to start Umbraco projects and deploy via a build server, and it's a real pain if the most excellent killer package doesn't have a corresponding NuGet package.
So generally overtime, the most used packages tend to have both; Umbraco Package and Nuget Package.
It was rare that a package would be on Nuget and not on Our Umbraco; but every now and then this does occur:
Property editors repository
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a place that people can list their own property editors for other devs to use. Do people use nuget or the umbraco package repository?
Yesterday I made a small property editor that takes a string for a url and formats it to a friendly format (all lowercase, replace space with dashes, ...).

Hi nojaf
Generally people will share their Umbraco packages on our.umbraco.org; that is the historically the place to announce and give details about a package.
Users of the package can feedback to the community by voting for the package, and discuss it / seek help via the forum; and report version compatibility.
You, the package dev, will receive Kama points when your package is downloaded.
You can add new packages from your profile page:

It's also worth searching through these to see if your killer package idea has been done before or if similar exists that is open source and can be enhanced with your idea; rather than creating near duplicate releases.
However so many people are using Nuget now to start Umbraco projects and deploy via a build server, and it's a real pain if the most excellent killer package doesn't have a corresponding NuGet package.

If you're not sure about whether your package 'has been done before' there is an Umbraco development google group; where ideas are often discussed:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/umbraco-dev and a community slack channel. https://github.com/tomfulton/umbraco-community-slack
