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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 100+ in roughly 33 days.

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.

   Hi,I really like that plugin makers try to stick to block themes and native Gutenberg blocks, but why use an old and unmaintained library like Splide, which died 3 years ago?You should switch to Embla or any recent and lighter alternative 😉 This topic was modified 7 months, 1 week ago by Yan.

   This is a promising start for a Splide.js carousel block! Lots of configuration “the Gutenberg way” and things my clients would like, such as setting arrow and pagination colors. But, I don’t think the resource (JS) loading is being done correctly. For one thing, it loads all the JS regardless of whether a page uses the plugin’s block. Second, it seems to load a whole bunch of stuff rather than just Splide.js. For example my dev site loads 3 JS files without the plugin active. With it active (though not in use), it loads 17 files. I think maybe the build process is off?…some of them seem like they would be needed for development only. Anyway, I hope the author continues to refine!
