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. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 plugin does what it says but It took a huge amount of time to figure out how to actually get it working. But the result is to my liking and looks nice. Hopefully the plugin continues its development polishes it to perfection. This topic was modified 10 months, 4 weeks ago by dholurockstar.
