High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

Another Google Books module or in this case a plug-in is a good thing. I’ll need to look at the code and see if there is any crossover of code I can use.

Formatting options would be a great addition to this plug-in: – The ability to have control over the size of the rendered book covers – The ability to set the number of rows and columns of book covers (currently it’s just one column)

It is very easy to use and works well. @pluginauthor: Please add more features such as formatting the layout to make it even better.

I’ve wanted to be able to easily share different bookshelves with my readers for quiet some time. Some plugins use amazon’s api, but their books aren’t comprehensive and international. With this plugin I can use google books which is very easy to manage and then just add any or all of my bookshelves onto any page or post with easy shortcode.
