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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 70+ in roughly 221 days.

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.

   It’s not clear how this is supposed to work. I entered my Anchor FM podcast feed and it looks like all the episodes of my podcast were imported. But when I try to view any of the episode pages, I get a “Page Not Found” error. This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by pcp81215.
