Well, DF linked to my latest app Boxcar (http://boxcar.io) today, which does push notifications for Twitter @mentions and DMs.

As far as what it did for sales with just that short little blurb? Awesome. That's what it did. :)

I can post actual growth percentages tomorrow once I have confirmed the data from Apple vs. my own analytics. It certainly made my day!

Great app, btw. Just bought Boxcar. I wonder what a HN mention will do to your stats?

Is support for multiple accounts on the roadmap?

It is - very soon. v1.1 was submitted last Monday evening, which includes support for Twitterfon, Twittelator and Twinkle. Plus a small bug fix.

Multiple accounts will most likely make it into v1.2, as long as Apple doesn't surprise me and approve v1.1 before this weekend.

(and, thanks for buying it :)

Yes, please post those numbers tomorrow. I'd be very interested to see them. Also, congrats!

How do your own analytics work?

>> User.count >= XYZ

... no, really. :)

In order to poll Twitter, each device registers itself on our server. Passes in the oauth token etc. So I can keep a consistent watch on things server side, but actually verify the legitimate sales (vs. pirated copies) the next day, once the daily reports are available.

I read the article, looked around their site, and bought the app. All in 5-10 minutes.
