What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

One reviewer says it works as promised and wants Gutenberg formatting, while others hit setup instructions that don't match reality and content that won't display reliably.

    Worked for day. Doesn’t consistently show up. Says incorrect instructions on installation. This is just all around bad to be honest.

    Works and does what it promises. Would be nice to use Gutenberg formating. Keep up the good work!

    I wanted to show all posts by a particular author. The instructions said to not use ‘@’ inside the medium handle field, but I discovered ‘@’ was required. For example “justin_98034” didn’t work, but “@justin_98034” was ok. The plugin also couldn’t find the feature image of the medium article, so it used a fallback image instead. Finally, the biggest problem for me was that the plugin couldn’t display any of the article’s body text, not even a few lines. Instead it only showed the titles. Unfortunately I’ve deactivated this plugin for now but plan to come back when it’s more mature.
