What are the metrics based off of? What is fast growth vs big growth? I couldn't find it on the site and I even downloaded the CSV data but it only had the aggregated numbers.

I'm the creator...

Fast growth: Given the last 14 days, score = log(day_14_sum_of_metrics / day_1_sum_of_metrics) - 2 * sqrt(1 / day_1_sum_of_metrics + 1 / day_14_sum_of_metrics)

Big growth: Given the last 30 days, score = day_30_sum_of_metrics - day_1_sum_of_metrics
