1 - is this scanning every account? i thought X did some fancy stuff where an API hit would only ping a random ~1-5% of the total base. the 100k->1m tier list looks especially wrong

2 - whats time on growth? is it +x% in 24 hours / what time frame?

3 - cool

1 - good question! using public data only for now, so I have to add usernames manually, but I also have an automatic scaling mechanism, where I discover "recommended" usernames for each user.

2 - for now it's daily only, last 24hours. Once I have more data I will display 7 days, 30 days and 365 days switcher.

3 - thnx :D
