Howdy folks!
Perhaps the most exciting benefit of upgrading to XenForo 2 is the new opportunities it provides with being able to continually introduce new off-the-shelf addons. I have been very excited to look through all of the options that we now have and have found some pretty cool ones, but would also like to ask if any of you have ideas for which addons we can use in what way? Regardless of whether the addons are paid or free is completely fine.
Going through some of my documentation and planning I have found a brief list that I made a couple of months ago of some potential new addons we could get, I'd love your thoughts on any of these plus anything else you think we could get. If you have custom addon ideas this thread isn't really the best place for that and should instead go as a suggestion of its own.
These were selected after looking at just a few pages of addons and there are definitely a tonne more new things that could be added to our XF2 installation on release and further down the line.

I figured this could be cool so that people don't need to keep clicking on the next page when scrolling through forums and instead they just pop up endlessly like other modern sites

Rather than us custom developing our resource manager criteria system again this could allow for us to give far more control to resource authors without having the cost of developing our own

Could be used as a base for us to build on top of to make a more professional page outlining all of the features of premium, supreme, and ultimate.

Could be a good ultimate perk? My worry is that if we do this it could incentivise people to do low-quality posts (like many service teams seem to do), but I'm not 100% sure and would love some more feedback on this

Could be a neater way to display our smilies when creating a thread/post.

Super minor but could be an ultimate feature so that you can display the users' name on your threads if you'd like, not 100% sure about it though
