Thanks for the stats, I was curious how things were progressing. I wished for such a site (I thought it would be a subreddit) for a long time. Happy to see it's going well.

Why the sharp jump in traffic in the middle of last week?

I have no idea. Usually midweek will be highest for a site like this, but that was an unusually large spike.

I would've expected the traffic to be low around the 16th:

Actually, it was probably Jason crawling news.yc indexing everything...

[pg → danielha]

Hmm, that would be in the right ballpark.

pg, so if in 2 months news.ycombinator had a 20% chance of making you rich, whats the lowest offer you'd take? :) jokes

^ Oh you can blame me for that. I should probably logout once in a while :D

I wonder if there's going to be a change in traffic (# or composition) at the end of the YC application process.
