Hi, we're putting the finishing touches on a new website that I hope will be very useful for app developers.

It's calculating the daily iTunes app rankings to do graphs and daily delta changes.


You can see all your apps on one page if you find one of yours and do the "all by this author" 

It's easy to see interesting stuff like how this app jumped after getting featured in an Apple commercial:
And I hadn't even noticed that one of our free games got in the top 200 until I saw it on the graph!

Feel free to pass this along to any other app developers or others who might be interested.  Let me know how you like it, or any thoughts and ideas to give more data you'd find useful.

-Michael

I think it is a great site for anyone who likes to track the app
store. Thanks Michael

Here's a related web app I would pay for:

1. Provide a way to add "apps of interest"
2. RSS feed with search over new apps with given keywords
3. RSS feed with updates to all tracked apps (from step #1).
4. RSS feed for new reviews for all tracked apps.
5. Dashbard view with historical ranks of all tracked apps, with
updates added to the charts as important points
6. Attempts to guess unit count of the tracked apps by analyzing stats
for other, known apps and rank.
7. Alexa&co ranks for apps respective web sites.

In other words, I would like ot have a "competition dashboard". I
would pay $20/month for it.
I already have a script that downloads daily sales from iTunes and
plots them on a graph, but I imagine many people don't and would pay
for that as well.
