I’d like to second the comment about url binding. Using a host like WPengine and similar allow for rapid creation of clone environments where one can test things out, code or content related. But if I have to go and register domains on another party site it takes what would be a cool feature and drags a lot of time in to something that should be otherwise solved. The workflow of the above also makes a lot of assumptions about who has access to the 3rd party plugin accounts. Testing some css with a contractor shouldn’t mean they need to login to all plugin accounts.
Also to add on the code quality. It would be nice to know if the plugin properly registers styles and js. A ton of plugins arbitrarily inject to header or footer or inline or all three. One of the first things I do when we test a plugin is to see if it functions as needed and then I go see what wreckage it has caused to the html/perf. I then decide if I can live with myself.
To all Wordpress plugin developers. I’d easily pay 2-10x for higher quality considerations. Most plugins I find so cheap $ they take away my ability to complain or have a high expectation.
