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
No release in a yearHow 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.

Installed it, activated it, and suddenly our home page was all broken. Deactivated it and home page went back to normal, so it was definitely some kind of conflict with this plugin. Too bad, was looking forward to using it! Will have to find another option.

Your plugin is the 4th one I have tried and yours actually works. Congrats on that. All I need to show specific albums. This is for a Boy Scout group and I am showing albums from campouts and events on individual posts.
