Anecdotally, I'm noticing that friends that used to wear the fitbit and apply social pressure (through the fitbit app) to keep wearing it, have stopped. Also noticing a lot more people with smartwatches, including Apple iWatch. Without the social pressure, there doesn't seem to be much lock-in. Mine died and haven't felt the urge to replace it.
We kinda whipped up something for our own purposes (logging any data using google spreadsheets). It's called Sheetstorm and basically you just post data using the API and it'll automatically create a new sheet or append it to an existing one.
It's handy for logging and analyzing arbitrary stats.
Just a point of feedback: I was scanning up and down the page looking for a full-size screenshot or tour before I randomly hovered over the thumbnails and saw that they're clickable. Looks cool though. Would this function as light weight customer service tool, i.e. replacing ZenDesk or Desk.com?
I use news:yc too and I miss the collapsed comments. It was way easier to skip over irrelevant discussion threads when you can browse just top level comments.
For this series of redesigns, I think it'd be helpful to include a screenshot of the current design both for easier side by side comparison and for posterity.
