Writing On GitHub

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 · 100% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 20+ in roughly 1290 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.

   It is really helpful. I already tried many ways to sync our website to GitHub, but due to the big size of backup files, failed many times. And some plugins cannot be used properly in our current version. The plugin ‘Writing On GitHub’ works for me. Thank you so much.

   Although it’s a Writing on Github plugin, I didn’t expect that one loses the edit function in WordPress. Plugins should be supplementary and not remove an existing functionality. A new post created in WordPress syncs to the Github repo but again, when one’s to edit the page, which is typical, one has to do edit Markdown now in Github? This may be usable in use cases where you need WordPress to start something but when is that the case. WordPress is a blogging tool not an init tool. My 2 cents. It syncs at the least. Edit: I initially gave this a 3 star because I was frustrated. I’m back and giving it now a 4. It’s for free and it works. Probably it’s simply there to supplement a Markdown repo to be used with Jekyll perhaps and not the other way around. This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by paoloumali.
