Trennd

I don’t have much feedback, except to say I think this is a really good, useful concept.

This is really cool.

Great stuff. Thanks

I'm a moderator of one of the bigger Facebook advertising groups that exist. This caught my eye instantly as the e-commerce and affiliate crowd are going to be all over it. They…

These results aren't filtered in some way? I find it suspicious that almost all of the top ~100 results are tech related.

Very cool, but this is essentially not "discovery". There is a heavy skew toward tech - but niche tech (Notion for example) specifically. It would be cool to get a broader, less…

The examples on the front page looks surprisingly good, which makes me suspect they were hand-picked. Kind of beats the purpose of the app if I'm just shown trends the author and…

not sure i agree so much because its not showing things that are just starting to trend, which is where the real money is at... being in front of the ball rather then…

Very cool! As a front-end dev it's interesting (but I guess also not surprising) to see React and Vue with very steep curves. I wanted to try adding Svelte, so I signed up by…

Cool idea, but all charts are empty. Hugged by Hacker News?

Web server down? Anyone else getting it to load?

Hi Josh - it would be incredible to have this filtered by location, and I think you can get that from Google Trends.

What could be a really neat addition is having trends sorted by countries

I'd also like to see downward trends, not just growing trend. From the last page or two, I see some downward trend, like "blog", "facebook", and "gmail". I don't know if it means…

For sure. So shorter term. They're going to want to move faster than 3 months. Maybe like a past 30 day trend if possible? I would say also if there's a way you could dig into…

Hey Josh, very interesting concept. Thanks for building it! I tried to use the "technology" category, but the results are not what I expected. Perhaps it would be more useful if…

This is awesome. I'd love to have the ability to view topics based on category. IE. see the biggest trends in entertainment or the biggest trends in sports players, or the…

Is there a plan to sell the data as an API? I am currently working with a client who is exploring the options for building out a similar system.

Selling the data as an API is definitely a potential. I was originally thinking to allow CSV downloads of the data. Would an API be more useful for your client's use case?

Hi, it would be nice if the keywords had short explanations. I had to find out what an affinity designer and an enneagram was. Bubble tea was also quite new.

Looks good, but I miss units on the axis. On mobile, it's missing from the start page. The units for the y-axis on the detail view is missing (as far as I can see).

You said you are monitoring interesting keywords & topics but how do you know which keywords & topics to monitor? Also, if you are choosing the keywords then wouldn't the data be…

Hi Josh, Very interesting stuff. Can I ask what is the math behind defining the trend? How did you calculate the most trendy words, etc? I'm working on something similar for a…

What is your Algo for calculating Trends? I mean how do you say that something is trending? It is most popular? Emerging? Z-score?

That's very neat and interesting; I guess the two questions are - how do you generate keywords to search for ? - how do you filter out noise (or perhaps you don't filter it) ?

Very cool! Thank you for sharing -- and for creating it! Have you considered taking a step further in the "open" direction and making it OSS?

This is similar in some ways to https://meetglimpse.com/ The key value-add, in my mind, from that product, besides the trend, is the editorial content they include in the email.…

Awesome I enjoyed making some trend charts, and the results are fun (i.e I added DevOps, Erlang, Elixir). I think there is a risk it could conceal too many errors and biases for…

Where's the data coming from? I assume the trends are coming from Google Trends but how are topics found?
