- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

1…pourquoi le widget affiche un “point” juste avant le titre (du widget) ? (ça gâche tout le design ;-)). 2…pourquoi ne pas modifier “l’actualisation” (un peu “sec”) avec un effet (jquery ?) plus fun et agrable, genre un fade-in ou autre ? 😉 3…L’affichage des vignettes et l’agencement s’organise…heu…s’organise pas lol http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2378/bugfs.png Avec tout cela réglé, il vaut largement le 6 étoiles 😉
