Yapper Leaderboard

Everyone's arguing about whether impressions reward volume, but I'm stuck one step earlier: where's the impression data even coming from? X only hands real impression counts to the account owner through their own analytics, so a public leaderboard either scrapes the per-tweet view counter (doable but rate-limited into the ground) or estimates it from likes and replies, which drifts from what people see in their own dashboard. Which is it, and how stale can the number get between refreshes?

The trend-over-follower-count framing is the right call — for community work the loudest accounts and the most influential ones are rarely the same people. Concrete question: what's actually being scored under 'yapping' — raw post volume, reply/quote engagement, or something weighted so a handful of viral posts don't drown out the consistent daily contributors? And can I scope the board to a custom list of handles (my own community/ecosystem) rather than only the global or YC-batch views?

Ranking by impressions feels like it'll reward whoever posts the most rather than whoever says something worth reading. Is there any normalization for post volume, or does a company that tweets 20 times a day just automatically outrank one that tweets twice?

finally something that puts the loudest accounts on blast. signed in with my X and caught two startups i follow climbing fast on the weekly list, which was a nice nudge to check what they were posting. solid little distraction for the morning.

Is Yap characterized by characters? Or words?

honestly really fun concept, i’ve been checking it all morning. one thing that would help a lot though is adding a filter for specific timeframes like "last 24 hours" vs "last 7 days" so i can actually spot who’s trending right now vs who just had one viral post weeks ago. right now the weekly growers section is decent but a proper time filter would make it way easier to track real momentum

Yahia, this is such a fun way to see who's actually out there building in the open and making noise. I can see myself checking the risers every week out of pure curiosity. Genuinely fun.

I like that you're tracking trends instead of just showing follower counts. Sometimes the people creating the most interesting discussions aren't the ones with the biggest audience.

this is a fun concept for tracking startup buzz. one thing that would make it way more useful is letting people filter by category like ai, fintech, saas, etc, so you can see who's making noise within a specific niche instead of just an overall list. would help a lot for competitive research

This is such a fun concept. It's nice to have a way to discover startups that are actively building in public instead of just looking at follower counts. Congrats on the launch!

The leaderboard updated pretty fast and I liked seeing the weekly growers tab to spot who's actually gaining momentum. Wish there was a way to filter by category though.

how often's this refresh.

This is such a fun idea :))We already added our startup and team to the leaderboard. Founders were already competing over users, revenue, launches, and followers... naturally, yapping needed its own ranking too :)

Fun idea and it loads fast. Watching T3 Chat sit at number 1 makes the ranking feel instantly believable, and the YC batch filter is a smart touch for checking who is loud in your batch. Spent about ten minutes poking around before commenting.One thing that tripped me: the search box reads like I can look up any X account, but it only matches accounts already on the board, and it seems to match website domains too. I typed vercel and got one random person whose portfolio is hosted on vercel.app instead of anything Vercel related. Matching handle and display name first would fix that. Also the 24H column is all dashes right now, might be worth hiding it until the data lands.Upvoted, curious how big the board gets after today.

This is a fun way to spot who's consistently building in public instead of relying on follower counts alone. The weekly growers view sounds especially useful for discovering startups before they become obvious.
