Twitter Aura toy site jumps to 365 unique visitors after one big-account tweet

@borvibe built Twitter Aura, a toy site scoring your X account's 'aura' via a log-scale formula (200 × log10 of followers-per-post ratio dominates; prolific posters get punished). After @pawlean tweeted it — dubbed 'The Pauline Effect' — the visitor curve went vertical, reaching 365 unique visitors in two days, deduplicated via daily-salted hashed IPs with crawlers excluded. A textbook case of one big-account tweet bending an indie site's traffic curve.
