Dashboard To-Do List

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 · 58% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers call it simple and exactly what they need for dashboard notes on client and team sites, with a few asking for small tweaks like a wider textarea, checkboxes and a choice of position.

   Absolutely useful. It helps me so much to keep track of “stuff that needs to be done”. For the first time the Dashboard has become somewhat useful. 🙂

   I love this plugin, perfect to help creating websites! It would be great to choose left or right position and why not randomize the list order to improve productivity and add checkbox.

   great plugin for developers/contentmanagers. Would be perfect if the textarea is set at 100% instead of 55 cols… on my screen it doesn’t align well, but otherwise, perfect.
