ReactPress – Create React App for WordPress

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 · 82% 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.

   Was able to get my installation to work with an app I previously developed; caveats however include the need to have the folder lowercase, a copy of build in the main app folder, and the inability to link the page directly (“Can’t add page” but upon reload and some tweaking around in my host’s file explorer it works somehow). Embed isn’t perfect but is functional: transparent input field is not as such, my text formatting is messed up in typescript, and any redirect breaks the site if there is any security on the recieving end (i.e. if you redirect to github); definitely would recommend in a pinch though, works as advertised. Unsure how one would do live development outside of hosting oneself; my host has an integrated file explorer that I was able to upload and tweak files in, but I digress.

   I discovered this plugin when it was just a few months old – there were challenges in getting it to work initially, but it turned out to be issues with my understanding of how to set it up – now it is an integral part of my website.

   Works exactly as intended and helps a lot in combining old sites with new technique. Would pay for it if all compability issues of the future (wordpress <-> react) would be resolved by this plugin.

   This plugin was an absolute lifesaver for me. I had a React client project and almost did know nothing about WordPress. This plugin saved my ass.
