Depends on how much time you want to spend behind that. The depth of information's you want to have, can be achieved via data scraping techniques but does it worth it? Question yourself.


Web becoming much like the economy where there are big players who control the web and others who are shouting for equality. There is another group, largest amongst these three, almost 90% of general population, who don't bother/understand and go with the wind. With big data come into the scene, things get out of hands as these "big guns" are on a spree to collect more and more of our personal details. IOT is another thing that will surely make situation much worse, as they are meant to be our personal assistance, we are allowing them to learn our behavior and act accordingly. When we see an advertisement related to our 3days earlier search, it's not the ad that is get promoted instead we are getting sold.


I don't think all the things discussed are still relevant as it's a fairly old post. Also, "best practices" are not always best depending on the scalability of the problem itself.


Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I like your idea to show very few on home page and providing a link to browse all other. Though these are all add-ons(paid), our base product WC Marketplace is a totally free WordPress plugin. We believe if we can increase user base of our base plugin then automatically sale of our paid addons increase. That's why most of the CTA redirects to WordPress site to promote downloading our plugin.


Thanks for commenting, would you mind explaining 'if you could improve X how would you?' this part a bit more. I didn't get it. Sorry for this additional trouble.


(By learning I presume "talking" mainly) In my opinion, the best way is to learn by practicing it, if possible with native speakers. That will improve both fluency and pronunciation. There are various online communities which might come handy. Language exchange option is generally free. Some links- https://www.speaky.com/ https://coeffee.com/ https://howdoyou.do (English only) https://www.italki.com/ There is also an awesome app I used sometime earlier, it's called "Memrise". Memrise is a very good app for increasing vocabulary. There are a ton of courses to learn from and some of them even provide pronunciations.


We revamped the WC Marketplace site with a single objective to increase our WordPress plugin downloads (https://wordpress.org/plugins/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/). Following the same, we even did one bold experiment with traditional WP plugin description text. Are we going in the right direction? Any suggestion or criticism would be appreciated.


First glance (impression) seems to be it is too cluttered. Maybe I need to digest more about what your site offers from a product perspective.


Thanks for your feedback. Looking forward to get few suggestions from your end.


Yup, I just tried searching Wow in google, it shows me results related to World of Warcraft. :(


Sorry, next time I'll be more careful. Thanks!


It's an awesome tool. I love it. Though my writing get lost one I press "Done". It will be better if I got the option to read my writing later or browse through others writing to draw some inspiration. Thumbs up!


Thank you Sushobhan. The idea behind not storing is to make users feel that they can write whatever they want. Probably I'll look into having an option to save locally or sending as mail, in case user feels the writing is too good to leave.
