LumaFusion is a professional multi-track video and audio editor for iPad, iPhone and Android, made by Luma Touch. It is sold as a paid app with optional add-ons rather than a subscription, and is aimed at mobile journalists, filmmakers and social video producers who edit on a tablet instead of a desktop.

Why it is here

Best paid chart position 82 to 50 in a day, with the United States 99 to 63 and Japan 82 to 50, and a third country entering the charts where there were two. Britain went the other way, 82 to 89, so this is not one global promotion moving everything at once. It is a 29 dollar professional video editor with 24,740 ratings, and at that price every place gained is a deliberate purchase rather than a free download.

The site of an independent developer selling paid iPhone apps, whose entire statement of intent is that they make apps for humans. The apps are bought outright rather than subscribed to, which is why they appear on the paid charts rather than the free ones.

Why it is here

Second day running. Britain 44 to 26 and the best position 18 to 16, after yesterday's move from 40 to 18 across three storefronts. The first day could have been a feature slot; a second day of gains in the same direction is harder to explain that way, and the app is still paid, so the buying has continued rather than a promotion having ended.

How to read this

Method

Every number here is a rate of change, never a total. Size is not news. The largest repository on GitHub is not rising, it arrived years ago. What this looks for is movement, and specifically movement that more than one unrelated source noticed on the same day.

That second condition is the whole method. Stars can be bought, backlinks can be built, app installs can be farmed. This project has already killed 2,601 domains for sitting inside link networks, one of which ran to 2,046 sites and covered 98% of everything it tracked on .it. All of them were manufacturing the exact signal one of these sources measures. Faking two unrelated signals at once is far harder work, so a repository seen moving by GitHub and HackerNews, or an app seen by the App Store and Google Play, counts for more than a bigger number in one place.

Whether two sources are genuinely independent is measured rather than assumed. Majestic ranks domains by backlinks and Tranco ranks them by traffic, and the two were treated as one voice for weeks. Comparing their daily movement across 83,000 domains showed no relationship at all, so they now count as two. Any pair that turns out to share data underneath gets folded back into one.

Entries are written to be read rather than scanned. When the evidence is thin, or the story behind it does not hold up, the entry is left out rather than published with a caveat.
