Thank you for your reply and your good wishes!

1. It's good to hear that the landing site resonates with you.

2. That is terrific advice, I know that is a weakness of the product and until now, I had no clear way of how to convey the information in each chart.

3. I also agree that data is not enough, but before coding an explanation I want to make sure the information is well versed. Maybe a multi-Twitter thread is not the best idea. I like that it gives the option for readers but it may be confusing.

Maybe redirecting to a Twitter thread might be a good idea for each chart. That's easy to implement, and useful for the reader :)

4. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll pay extra care to it.

A couple of other thoughts, I do want to create the experience that you are looking. Some of my ideas include:

A. Providing a weekly summary with personalized information, for new users and customers.

B. Aggregate stats so you can benchmark yourself in regards to other users.

Again thanks for your comment and best of luck as well with your project!

Regarding your suggestions for #4, personally

a) I'm not a fan of those weekly summary things. It tends to become routine and will probably sit unread or something, unless of course it has a lot of quality information that I start looking forward to it.

b) At the end of the day, I would still prefer specific instructions like

i) your target audience tends to read their tweets between the hours of X & Z, so do your tweets then

ii) these are the leaders/influencers in your segment so you should target them (I think a great selling point for your product if you can do it, is identifying the influencers in a user's target)

iii) these are top/trending hashtags in your target audience. Do you have anything that can fit into it? If so, then tweet using that hashtag

That's great advice, that information might be better during onboarding (2-4 reports), and ocassionally when there is something relevant to share (like when you had a great week).

The idea of mapping influencers & hashtags, is interesting.

That will be a project on itself. Thanks for the great input.

So maybe in your case something like:

Potential accounts to engage with: https://twitter.com/GoogleStartups https://twitter.com/kevgibbs (tech lead of Google App Engine)

Potential hashtags to produce content: #100DaysOfCode (used by aspriing Software Engineers) #NoCode

Recommended Keywords to search new accounts: Google App Engine
