Biggest opportunity: Swap “buddypress” and “task list” for “kanban board” and “todo list”. “buddypress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kanban board” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “task list” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “todo list” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

It’s simple and that’s what I like about it. If you develop this plugin further to include additional functions like time tracking, comments, etc., I’ll be the first to sign up! There isn’t much out there that works this well on the frontend, so thank you… :thumbsup:

Very easy to implement and use. Developer is responsive to suggestions and improvements. A very clean kanban design system, with the simplest functions of Trello or similar.

I found this plugin quite by accident and I have to say I am impressed with how beautifully it pairs with BuddyBoss!The plugin is lightweight, has a very nice and clear UI and everything works as it should 🙂A very good start!Please continue developing this great plugin! P.S. Not all words are translatable at the moment (some strings are missing), but I think it’s only a matter of time until you fix it.
