How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Good piece of work. Plain & Simple as a link list should work. However: it is not multilingual. That is why i cannot rate it with 5 stars.

    Makes management of links easy. I would give it five starts if the shortcode also let you control the number of columns.
