Admin Page Notes

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 simple, reliable way to leave editing notes for clients and authors, with occasional asks for rich text, note colours and translation support.

   There are cases where it is super important to guide editors and authors on how to edit a specific page. This simple plugin is very helpful for these cases. For a future release, I would love to see a rich text input field instead of a plaintext input field plus the possibility to add a color to the note.

   Very useful. Except for the fact that the text can’t be translated, even if __()is used two places, this works very nice. A textdomain needs to be loaded, and all text output must be inside the translate function _e() or __().

   I used to leave comments in the post content via shortcodes or HTML comments and it was always a mess when the client would be editing their content and mess with my notes. This is the perfect solution. I raise my mug of ginger beer to you, BeardedGinger!
