Biggest opportunity: Add “twitch streams” to your wp.org tags. You rank #21 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

I originally used the free version of this theme and loved it so much that I bought the premium version. The countdown application in the stream helped my audience grow while also keeping me on a dedicated schedule. New visitors to my site were able to view my stream and engage with my audience without any issue. I actually can’t rate this application highly enough. After my experience with the theme, I tried both their Twitch TV Easy Embed plugin and their Twitch TV Rail plugin; I vouch very highly for both. Highly HIGHLY recommend use of any and all product that StreamWeasel provide. They’re a great company. Very hands on and have actively replied to any/all emails/request for support I have. I freaking love them.
