Sticky Notes for WP Dashboard

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 · 95% 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.

   Really, Sorry for using, I think, the same title, but it is really useful. I junst instaled it on my local wordpress development and tries, I use Laragon, it is better than Xammp. Anyway, it definitely helps me on my live site admin, it will help me on my local admin site too, from now on. Keep up the good work!

   When you have to remember something important, this is a great plugin! You can hide it on specific pages.

   this is a great note-taking plugin, it shows everywhere on the back end. could be better if add a minimize button.

   I’m wondering why this plugin still doesn’t have a lot of 5 stars. This is the best plugin you can imagine if you need to add sticky notes in the backend. Wb Sticky Notes has exactly the options you need to add sticky notes in the backend, no one more, no one less. Absolutely perfect. Really thank you for creating this wonderful plugin!
