RPB Chessboard

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 · 66% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   RPB Chessboard is really a great plugin for any chess related website. I am the Webmaster for my local chess club, and we have just recently redesigned and relaunched our club’s website with WordPress. I use this plugin a lot in my postings and pages, e.g. to show games from our team matches and tournaments, and it looks really good, is very user-friendly and navigable.Also, the developer is very responsive to comments and bug reports. I found a display problem with certain glyphs in a PGN file, and he fixed this problem within one day and made a new release. Great!

   Es ist ziemlich genial. Meistens erzeuge ich die FEN auf lichess und baue sie dann in WordPress ein. Das funktioniert perfekt. Das Gleiche mit PGN. In der Hilfe erfährt man alles, was man erfahren muss. Ein Problem habe ich nur mit dem Worpress-Menü. Wenn es über dem Brett liegt und man mit der Maus drauf kommt, verschwindet es. Was ich mir wünsche: Einen FEN-Import. Ich habe tausende von Stellungen. Manchmal will ich aber noch Pfeile rein machen, Felder hervorheben. Da muss ich immer im eigenen Editor alles neu machen. Ein Import von FEN wäre da super! Was ebenfalls genial wäre: Ein KI-Modus, bei dem man die KI-Stufe vorgeben kann. Das wäre ein Traum. This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by Jan Dembowski.
