#12Would like to say that this app looks sweet, and that I hope to see an Android version (I've been periodically checking the webpage for updates).
Keep up the momentum!

#13Why not apply for YC summer batch and see how far it gets you.
Btw: just bought a copy of your app.

#14First, this is a great problem to have! Enjoy it.
More to the point, is there a business entity that owns the app? If so (or if you can create one), giving some equity to someone in exchange for helping you complete the app (either the current version or the next) is a way to pay without any cash outlay.
Since you're already finding some success in the marketing department I'd think finding someone who'd "invest" in your business in that way would be a possibility.
Last... definitely not accusing you of anything, but I was just musing on the fact that this would make a good marketing campaign: young upstart with too much success and not enough capital -- it's like a cinderella story ;)

#15How many monthly active users (or even daily) do you have? As far as I'm seeing through Twitter, it's just people sharing the link, but using it?
I'm in a similar situation with http://petithacks.com Launched it last september while learning Rails, and got some traffic peaks that bring among 2-3k users/month (but only 100 active - liking, saving stuff).

#16This is how startups are unfortunately supposed to feel. The fact it's spreading without you having to do much is a good sign. Just keep going as much as you can and don't worry too much. Easier said than done, but you're on the right track.
You don't have to optimize every part of the project for it to be successful. You're not going to miss out on anything if you don't perfectly execute right now, just focus on getting better a little at a time.

btw now that I know what most of the recurring users are looking for (inspiration for their marketing campaigns), now it's when I'm starting to introduce some features (paid plans for promo of products related, reach an audience, etc.) If it can give some ideas.

#18You do know that maybe 20, 10, or even less than 1% of the people who Buffer'd it actually visited your site and downloaded the app, right? Most people use their suggestions on auto-pilot.
I would be excited if you saw people spontaneously praising it on Twitter, not Buffering it. When i search on Twitter, I only see the automated Buffers, not tweets like "Just found out this app.. love it!" or "Has anyone else used this app?".

#19Fix your bugs, etc etc but save all of these mentions to a Twitter list or favorite. Basically capture the interest so you can reach out to them when the app is closer to product market fit.
This is a good problem to have and there's not much you have to do to 'fix' it, just capture interest, improve product, and tell interested parties.

People are sharing it independently. I haven't added my url to any of my own tweets.
I'm pretty sure Buffer suggested stories and LinkedIn Pulse have been a some part in the growth. It's largely being shared within a niche on Twitter. It's a very simple app at moment. I don't have much for in-app analytics.
