Reactions

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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.

   Giving a 5-star review because this is an awesome concept. I’m really looking forward to seeing it progress and become better over time. I’m also balancing out silly 1-star reviews by @jessy161616 and @gleenk since neither of these people left reviews of the actual plugin.

   The jerks who one-starred this can go suck on a lemon. I don’t care for comments on my sites, but I’d still like feedback. Emoji reactions allow me to get that without having to suffer through long-winded, cruddy opinions.

   If it’s a plugin to react to poop, then explain, in great detail how it will allow such reaction. If it’s an emoji plugin to react to posts using the REST API, then say so. It’s just not cool having these generic plugins show up in our (public user) feeds and having to dissect what this is. Comb through shell scripts for security and wondering why composer.js files are accepted in the Repo. You Automattic devs should keep your sandboxing in-house please!
