Dashboard Sticky Notes

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 · 79% 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.

Reviewers call it simple and lightweight, and say it does the job better than the alternatives they tested.

   I tried several of the plugins for adding notes to the admin dashboard. I’m very happy I found and settled on this one. It enables us to quickly document key information for other admins. There are three features/aspects I like in particular: Allows multiple notes. While we typically only need one note on the admin dashboard, we do have occasion where multiple is handy. Leverages the WordPress ecosystem to keep it lightweight. Targeted viewing. We can assign notes to be visible by user/role and can set the priority of the note. They can also be organized like any other dashboard notes. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by gravitystack.
