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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 40+ in roughly 34 days.

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 reached out with a few questions and some feature suggestions, and the developer was quick to respond and very open to feedback. What stood out was the effort put in over the weekend to roll out an update addressing those points. That level of responsiveness is rare. Still early days, but promising and actively supported. Looking forward to how it evolves.
