CoolClock – a Javascript Analog Clock

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 · 87% 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 love the analog clock skins! I was looking for something interesting and the watermelon clock was just that 🙂

   Absolutely brilliant! Worth getting the “advanced extension” to create a clock face background from my logo.

   A nice idea however most of the designs are pretty lame. Could do with some more ‘clock’ looking designs instead of the abstracty types available.
