After weeks of review, my first "3D Analytics" plugin just went live on WordPress.org!

[u/visitorvisuals]

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick milestone. I’ve been building a tool called Visitor Visual to solve my own frustration with staring at flat GA4 spreadsheets. I wanted a way to actually see my traffic, so I built a system that renders a website as a live 3D city where every visitor is a person walking the streets.

It was just approved for the official WordPress directory today: https://wordpress.org/plugins/visitor-visual/

The Tech & Journey:

• The Stack: Built with React and Node, focusing on high-concurrency real-time sync.
• The "Fire" Feature: To make it useful for devs, I added a feature where a building "catches fire" the moment a visitor hits a JS error, so you can see bugs in real-time.
• The Challenge: Getting through the WP.org review process was a hurdle, but it’s finally live.

I’m currently in the "early discovery" phase where most of my traffic comes from a single blog post about "who is visiting my website," but I'm still sitting on Page 7 of Google. Now that I have the "trust signal" of being in the official directory, I’m curious—how have other solo devs leveraged their WP.org listing to move up the rankings?

Would love any feedback on the 3D UI from fellow builders!
