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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

you said, that as we have a group block now, we might don’t need to use this plugin. Unfortunately group block stinks, it ads some inner divs which makes it unusable for a lot of stuff, for example grid or flex container. Your plugin is just perfect. It should be THE FIRST Gutenberg block to be released, it’s such a timesaver and pleasure to work with. I can pay for this, but please, don’t abandon it.

White Magic, This should be in the very core of Gutenberg. I used it to implement Keen Slider Because there’s no way to get rid of the additional annoying nested wrappers in default columns or groups blocks.

This plugin is just perfect for a full control of gutenberg’s based layouts. It just fills a very important functionality that gutenberg lacks and it should come built in with WordPress. Great job.
