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.

Don’t ask me how often in my life I clicked “Publish” and then “View”. I don’t seem to get tired enjoying the eye button.

I needed this function and it works perfectly. I really like the design. It was a clever idea to split the button. This saves space and properly tells the user that it is just two ways of doing the same thing.
