Well this plugin is simply full of tips that appear in the top of your admin area every time you hit a page in the admin. And while they are good tips they are just random tips and not a check to see what your site might need.

Endless Posts Navigation

It automatically sense the post type where it is implemented and provide the endless navigation from the same taxonomy/category. You don’t need to worry about its order. It automatically manage alphabetical order for next and previous navigation. I tried infinite scroll with success previously, but it stopped working for me shortly after 3.7.1. This one worked fine, even in 3.8.
