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.

From what i have tried so far, this is the BEST sharing/bookmarking plugin for WordPress. Thanks for the great work.

Lightweight: The best choise if you already use genericons in front-end; Good looking: Back-end consistent with wp admin styles; Easily customizable: I don’t like direct styles in front-end so I removed some functions in a few minutes.

I have searched for hours after a social plugin that lets me use my native language on ‘Share this’ (this plugin lets me write any text) AND lets the user choose an image from the page or post to go with the shared content on Facebook. This plugin can all this – and the implementation was soo easy. Thanks!

Good plugin and nice styling, that’s great. For my website I’m not able to use it. I use different custom options, and not all of them are seen the right way. Example: The link: http://website.com/tips/view/subpost1/ Outcome: http://website.com/tips/ So it does show pages, posts and custom post, just not special custom options. (In this situation it shows only the main page) I hope this could be fixed, because this plugin would fit great in the website and has nice options! Idea: 1) count people visited (sub)page/ post 2) count people shared (sub)page/ post

Perfect plugin. I was looking for a sharing plugin that doesn’t share (strange, uh ?) data with third parties, and that is fast and light. Seems I found it, and it’s great ! Thank you !
