Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Beginning in Office 97, Microsoft included an Office Assistant named “Clippit” (though his friends call him “Clippy”), a terribly annoying animated paper clip that supposedly helped you write, but more often than not became a shiny thing for people to get distracted by. Clippy gained friends throughout the years, including Merlin (a wizard), Rover (a dog), and Links (a cat). Clippy was retired in Office 2007, but the legacy of Clippy and Friends lives on to this day.

js, a JavaScript-powered implementation of Clippy and friends for the modern web. js serves as the backbone of this plugin.

Note: In case you haven’t realized it yet, this plugin won’t do anything useful for you, but will add an animated character to your WordPress post edit screen. You can drag the character around, click on it, and watch it interact with your mouse, but this is strictly a novelty plugin.
