TweetStats, the first-ever Twitter analytics site, was launched in January 2008 by a talented programmer who learned Ruby on Rails. Back then, Twitter's API was not yet available, so the initial version of TweetStats relied on scraping the website for data. Over the years, TweetStats evolved, and the dedicated developer created numerous applications using Twitter's API.

However, as of February 13, access to Twitter's API is no longer free, prompting the decision to bid farewell to TweetStats. Despite the site's closure, the developer cherishes the memories and acknowledges that Twitter has transformed their life. TweetStats provided valuable insights to users, offering comprehensive analytics on Twitter activity.

Users could gain key metrics and metrics such as tweet frequency, hashtag usage, and follower growth. Although TweetStats is bidding adieu, the developer expresses gratitude to all those who supported the platform and shares affectionate memories
