Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers call it a small, no-bloat time-saver for editors, and the main asks are extra options like ACF fields and post types.

    This is one of those low profile plugins that makes an editor’s work much more productive. Well worth paying for – unlike some of the plugin$$ we see on so-called ‘premium’ sites. But where is the ‘Donate’ button, Johannes?

    Wow, this is perfect. No bloat, no stupid thumbnail display, and it links to post view and post edit. Thanks!

    This is a good start. Does what it says. However, I think it would be much more useful to add some features. * Change to Edit Post link (perhaps instead of Viewing Post) get_edit_post_link * Show Last Modified Date/Time the_modified_date, the_modified_time Some future features could also include: * Show Both Posts & Pages (other Post types?) Thanks for the plugin.
