I used Chartbeat on Hackerbuddy.com - it has customisable alerts which can go straight to your iPhone, so when traffic spiked I was able to react. The app hit the front page of Hacker News, and I was able to join in the conversation early o

I think it takes a bit more getting used to, but I do genuinely like it. Good job, I love the white space.

Clickable: http://dayri.me I'm not really your target audience, but I just wanted to say that, on an iPad, that tap-to-scroll-down is extremely satisfying. :)

It's also interesting how they admit that the results can be gamed if you know what the changes they've made are. While that's most likely always been the case with Google's algorithm (any search algorithm, really), it's interesting that th

While this is really promising - it's important to note that they experimented on this using only journal articles. It'd be interesting to see how it would deal with spam, as it seems like this is the sort of thing that could be gamed.

It's free, yep - I'm planning on open sourcing it once I've improved the code a bit, too.

Wow, thanks Moe! You're right, my typography could definitely be improved - I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for the mockup. I'll get playing with the CSS :) By the way, I stole the colour palette from Adobe Kuler. For hackers that

Ahh sorry - you're absolutely right, there should be some kind of confirmation first. I'll add that to v2 :)

Thanks for the comments - I agree, the browse user list is pretty dreadful at the moment. I'll be looking at adding a search function as a better way of finding people in the next update. (And the close account function too)
