" summary

Claims four concrete criteria for a good Ember addon: it solves an interesting problem, has straightforward setup and docs, exposes a deliberate API and ships meaningful tests; notes the ecosystem has 3,500 add-ons and many fail on docs or tests; demos actual tools and hacks: ember-cli hooks, ember test selectors that strips data-test selectors and removes itself from production builds, ember composable helpers that filters included helpers, ember-cli-deploy adding custom ember-cli commands to automate deploys.
