Checklist

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Plugin functionality looks to be quite good. But requiring casual visitors to open an account at Checklist.com in order to use a checklist is “a bridge too far.” Most of us want those visitors to sign-up on OUR sites. Two sign-ups at once? No. Just no. Don’t know about you, but I’ve never been asked to join Website No. 1 and then been required to join Website No. 2 to use a feature on Website No. 1. The developer explained that user input saved in cookies was too unstable. And it is… if the user clears her cookies, checklist input is gone. For registered users of Website No. 1, the same info could be saved to the database. Maybe it’s generous of Checklist.com to manage user data, but the user account requirement won’t work. The plugin might be helpful for corporates and schools for their in-house users. For the rest of us? Nope. This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by Gone South.

   Very easy to use. Professional looking. Rapid support. Only downside is if you don’t want your checklists synced to Checklist.com.
