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.

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.

   I think it’s a great program for my club website, I just miss the notations on the board. If I could, I would give it more than 9 stars. Freek This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by wingrijdernl.

   The right plugin for chessfans to share, discuss and analyse beautiful games and combinations with their chessfriends. Works fine. Widgets are useful, any combination can be added from the dropping list in a second and be used as puzzle of the day. Comfortable to go through the games on mobile phones because the moves are under the board while the players’ names and other information are above. This allows you to have just a board and moves on the screen.

   I use it in order to enable all members of our club to submit their games and archive them. So others can look at them and comentate them. This seems like the only plugin that I have found, that enables exactly this use-case. It is a very good start and I hope that we will see some additions (like direct PGN-Upload for all users, instead of just the Admin) and more possibilities to filter the lists of the games (tags and categories), more display settings and better mobile compatibility 🙂
