Buffer - My November Sprint App▲28
Hi everyone, I'm delighted to share my latest little venture just in the nick of time for the November Startup Sprint which I've really enjoyed. Been working away on the MVP for most of the last month, so it's awesome to be able to keep working on it having got the "launch" out of the way. I've been lucky to have some great friends trying it out for weeks now and helping me shape it, so this doesn't feel like a huge event, just another step in iterating to keep improving the product. Please check it out and let me know your feedback, you're always awesome - http://bufferapp.com

I measured the half-life of 41,301 Show HN launches. It's 7 hours▲37
I scraped every Show HN from the last 12 months (41,301 posts) plus the full comment tree of every launch with 10+ comments, ~100k comment timestamps, all from the Algolia HN API. The median launch gets 2 points and 0 comments. For launches that do get traction, half the comments they'll ever get arrive within 7.2 hours and 90% within 26, and the top decile decays on the same clock as everyone else. Vote timestamps aren't public, so comment timing is the attention proxy; caveats are in the post. Everything reproduces from the repo with one command…

Twitter graph monitoring over time, SocialGrapple▲50
Ever wanted to track who unfollowed you last month? Or who followed your competitor last month? Or how your social graph is growing over time? SocialGrapple does this. I've been working on SocialGrapple for a few months (since stepping down from imoveyou.com, YC2010S), this week I got the core product to the point where I'm proud of it so I want to show it off: http://socialgrapple.com/ I wrote up a blog post with some screenshots that will get you an idea of what SocialGrapple looks like: "SocialGrapple snapshot: @limedaring's social graph growth after her HackerNews publicity"…
