Notely

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 · 62% 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.

   May I suggest the following improvements? activate comments on all post types by default add comments to the post list view (currently you need a plug-in like Admin Columns to achieve this) add the comments to the quick edit panel in the post list view

   Just switched from Post Notes (no longer updated) and very happy. 🙂 I suggest to implement 2 simple feature (from Post Notes): Change the Box Title Ability to put a Notes placeholder for Contributors It also would be useful if there was an “import from Post Notes” feature. Regards.

   Notely does one thing and does it well. Lets you add notes in a page’s editor. Displays those notes on the “pages” admin page too, so its easy to keep track of things. I’d give it 5 stars if: a) I could edit notes in quick edit b) it worked for custom post types This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by Pedro Magnifico.

   Works flawlessly. It’s always refreshing when just need a simple function and you find it, install it and it does what it says it will with zero issues.

   This is just what I was looking for. A way to add notes to my individual articles as I work on them.
