Room to improve

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.

Back to Lester Chan’s Drafts for Friends, which still works beautifully. This one only works in Classic Mode. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by kentaiwan98. Reason: Too many stars

This is the best implementation compared to all the other existing older plugins saying they do this. I added a suggested patch and need to Support for enabling for Pages and Custom Post Types (CPTs). Please take a look at that, and let us know if you need any more info to solve.
