Stellar Places

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 · 70% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   There are extensive options for the shortcode. They have done a great job on the initial launch of this plugin, I look forward to what options they come up with next. It would be even better if there were a repository somewhere to submit fixes and additional features as a community.

   To the credit of the Author, this plugin is written to excellent specification. The current functionality provides a solid framework for interacting with maps and locations. It sounds like more bells and whistles are in the works, but I was able to get by just incorporating additional plugins and code to get the extras I needed.
