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.

    If you offer a free plugin on the WP reppo, don’t then turn around and ask users to pay to access security patches.

    Very decent plugin, but it does seem to have some issues with its design.On my website, using the slider left to right seems to have a tendancy to highlight the whole block in blue. I’m guessing the browser is trying to select the thing like it would with a block of text. On mobile, different issues. Zooming in on the Block and using the slider results in the whole pageview sliding left or right. I’m not a coder so I struggle to explain. But there does seem to be an issue where “selecting” the slider doesn’t lock the mouse in it. Which would explain the issues described above. Hopefully can be fixed in a future update. Cheers !

    The small problem is that a blue overlay appears when scrolling too fast with the PC

    Does exactly what I expected – nothing more. No unnecessary features. Great.

    I was impressed by the amount of settings. Design is also nice. On iPhone, while playing around with two of those blocks, the phone lagged incredibly bad until Safari didn’t respond at all for 20 seconds. Unacceptable. Switched to another plugin.(WP 6.4.1, iPhone 11, iOS 17.2.1, Safari)

    Very good plugin and devoted developers who promptly answer and release new versions after user submission / issue warning, even for the free version. Keep up with your excellent work!

    integrates with gutenberg editor. one click to install, one click to add to my post, add my two images, BOOM done. wish it had a “auto” slider, or a visual way to show users that the line is draggable.
