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.

How 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. 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.

    This is a simple yet flexible modal view plugin, exactly what I need. You can assign hot link to any Gutenberg block element and trigger a popup with any other block content. Works right in the Gutenberg editor. All other popup and modal view plugins are bloated with crap I don’t need.

    The Plugin Modal Builder Block is not working on WordPress Version 6.4.3. It seemed to be a great plugin; maybe the developer is willing to update it? Cheers
