Create with Code

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.

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.

   This plugin was perfect for my use case. I wanted to embed a Python script in a WordPress post and allow readers to execute it to see console print. I also hoped I could use the short code in a post’s “excerpt” and it would just work. Indeed, it just worked.

   It is a good plugin with python 3 support and allows u to run and test python within you browser. It have some limitations but I think, with all its features these limitations are bearable.

   I’m not sure why the plugin doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. It’s free and simple. Great for programming basics. It surely has some limitations but it does its job well. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by WPguy.

   I was quite excited about this tool. Then disappointed to find out that the interpreter doesn’t implement the Python language correctly. Literally the first I thing I tried didn’t work the way it should: Python guarantees that sorting is stable, so if you run sorted(mylist, key=...) twice with different key keywords, the first sort should be preserved. But that didn’t work in Withcode. Too bad.

   This plugin is very easy to use. It allows you to run Python 3 code and displays the output on your website. The code displayed is color coded and we have a big sign informing the user to press “ctrl + enter” to run the Python 3 code. I like the color combination and the big sign (though I wish that that sign was permanent). What I understand is that Python is installed on a remote server. This plugin allows you to make requests to that server with Python code, run it, and fetch the output. This is done easily with a ctrl+enter keyboard shortcut. Once you enter the hotkey, it displays the output in a pretty well-contrasted theme that IMO is a color combination that should work with loads of themes. As for the execution of the code, I think that it is pretty flawless. Although I’m not sure whether file management is supported or not. The execution is pretty instantaneous runs, pretty flawlessly, on a remote server. Everything runs in a sandboxed environment. So you don’t need to bother about any python installation issues + security issues. The default color for this widget is quite classy and it goes with multiple theme selections. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with this plugin. This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by zer0sn0t. This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by zer0sn0t.
