Note – A live edit text widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 96% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 would appreciate to be able to buy an independent upgrade of note with better options for background image and text options (position, floating, underline, etc, cute bold with white inside)… This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by faietdohrnii.

   Doesn’t seem to work no matter what theme I use. (update) Not what I was looking for, the app does seem to work but not the way I thought. Changed rating. Sorry about that. What would be really cool is an app where you could change the content right from the page if you’re logged in as the admin. So you don’t have to go through the dashboard

   This is great, really groundbreaking. Keep developing this… and you will put WIX, etc out of business.

   This is a really cool widget that shows the power of the customizer. I had, and still have a couple of issues though. Sometimes the widgets loses it’s contents when the customizer refreshes the page. This have improved since the first releases but haven’t yet been totally mitigated. Once that is resolved, will update my review to 5 stars. Other than that, really nice plugin. UPDATE: Since 4.2 it seems the sync issues have disappeared, so im updating my review to 5 stars.

   I used note to create an area for managing schedule changes due to inclement weather on several client websites and each wrote me that they find it easy to manage and effective.

   This is the easiest way to add and style content to any sidebar. Snappy response, formatting options available, works as described.
