Curious if the traffic was from the Verge's article[0] yesterday? That's where I heard first about Omnivore, and presumably where this HN post came from
Yeah I think so. Honestly we don't really have much in terms of analytics but based on timing it was earlier than hacker news. I think the verge users were more likely to initiate a migration from Pocket or Instapaper. Imports can be quite intensive if we have to fetch the content, especially because a number of older sites might not exist anymore and timeout.
