Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg block” for “diagrams”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “diagrams” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 23.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

I like this plugin, as it works smoothly for the most part out of the box. If you were thinking of improving it, I would aim for the following: + full date option (maybe this is essential?) + endless timeline (currently we are also limited to 100 entries) + the ability to set the look and feel defaults globally (minor issue really, I appreciate the lack of an additional menu to hunt down) + some limited additional control over the look and feel (but no need to go overboard) The other plugins I looked at had far less intuitive interface, were limited functionality or teasers for a pro plugin, feature bloated. This plugin, unlike many I use, has got the balance about right. Hopefully to build on, indeed some of the features could or perhaps should be part of core (e.g. the ability to reverse the order of entries).

The only good timeline blocks plugin for Gutenberg I’ve found. It helps us to represents our company history in a very beautiful way.

I did a bit of custom CSS, and it looks perfectly on my webpage now! Very intuitive to use too! The only thing I am really missing is an alternative to the fixed amount of posts the website owner have to choose now. If it could automatically load more posts on the timelime when the user scrolled down to the bottom of it (endless page design) I would rate it fantastic. A “load more posts” button at the end of the timeline would also suffice for my needs.
