We need your help. What did we do wrong?

A buddy and I have been developing WP plugins for 3 years. No one wants them.

• Basically no active installations on wp.org (fewer than 10)

• Basically no downloads on our homepage

We believe that our plugin should get some downloads because:

• It's the best one from a technical standpoint (replaces in the whole DB and not just some tables)

• Our SEO ranking is excellent

• We did some social media marketing (e.g. posts on Reddit)

• We think there is a need for better image management in WP

• There are sooo many WP installations in the world. Even 0.1% is a lot.

So clearly, some belief of ours is wrong.

• No one cares about the technical view?

• No one searches for WP plugins on Google?

• AI doomed us 🧨

• No one needs an image renaming plugin for WP?

We don't get it, but would like to. Maybe an external perspective can open our eyes.

Why does no one download our plugin? Should we flush our plugin down the 🚽?
