Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

A bit rough. Sometimes it makes people only see raw XML. Other times not. Strange.

The only functionality it seems to have working is log in via Mastodon app. Gives error message when uploading any content via my Mastodon apps (tried Icecube, Metatext and Mastoot). Checked the support forum and somebody else is having the same issue but has received no response so it doesn’t give me much hope. Look forward to one day seeing this working, but not worth installing right now. This topic was modified 3 years ago by roastinghousecoffee. Reason: added apps I'd tried
