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.

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.

I am super glad to have come across this. I have been searching far and wide for the solution to what would seem a simple problem — how can I group a few elements together? I mean, show me a website that doesn’t require this. I am not understanding why it wasn’t included in Gutenberg to begin with, but I digress. There are a few other Gutenberg Block plugins that claim to have container blocks, but with all the others I’ve tried, the container block is super laggy whenever you drag it around. This plugin seems, at least from my experimentation so far, to have somehow avoided that issue for the most part. Very nice. Besides that, this one is nice because it doesn’t come with a bunch of extra stuff I don’t want. Most block plugins load a bunch of scripts and styles that I don’t need. I am a theme developer, so I’ve been looking for something to just give me a way to structure the page and let me handle the rest. Thank you very much for bringing this extremely useful plugin. Now I can actually make websites again. This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by whywaitwebs.
