#  JUGL Meeting March 2016: Part 1 - Tools, Software, Templates etc.

    Details    Written by: [Eoin](https://www.joomlalondon.co.uk/component/contact/contact/eoin-oliver?catid=73&Itemid=1246)   Category: [Monthly Meetups](https://www.joomlalondon.co.uk/jugl-joomla-news/meetups)    Published: 18 March 2016    Last Updated: 03 February 2018  We dedicated part of this months meeting to talking about tools, software, templates, and any other things we have found which are interesting.

{snippet phil} suggested use cases for the following browser add ons:

- Imacros
    - Can be used to automate a great many tasks
- Solenium

Phil also shows us the YooTheme, Joy template. The overall findings were as follows.

- Nice pictures.
- Works quite well.

We then had a discussion on the Burger menu usage

- Phil likes the off canvas burger menu on desktop.
- Eoin thinks it is a huge UX problem as nobody will know the search & social buttons are in that area.
- Phil pointed out that it works correctly on mobile and tablet. Obviously that area could be use for any module in your own design.

Phil showed a website called [screentime.parsnip.io](http://screentime.parsnip.io "link to screentime.parsnip.io")

- They provide a plugin that means you cannot move down the screen unless you have spent enough time reading it.
- This is useful because of a new law regarding advertising. You now have to prove that someone has seen the advert in order to charge for the impression. Thus, it needs to be on screen for a set amount of time (2 seconds).
- Screentime.parsnip.io have created free plugins which can tell you whether people have scrolled on your page, and how long people have been on each section.
- The discussion moved on to which products already exist to measure this type of behaviour, although measuring alone would not meet the requirements of the new law.
- An alternative is [Hot Jar](http://hotjar.com "Link to"), which has a free version. You can see heat maps of where people have viewed, unlike Google heat maps which only shows where people have clicked. [hotjar.com](http://hotjar.com "Link to hotjar") is free up to 2000 page views per day.
