Cool app! Curious about the data sources, or is that a secret sauce?
For example, you have "google cloud platform" trends going back 15 years - does that mean you have 15 years of data from all your data sources? How do you backfill that?
- omarhaneef 7y agoFrom the medium article: "I needed something that could surface opportunities by automatically monitoring the web for new topics. So that I can then plug them into Google Trends. Heck, it could even check Google Trends itself so I don’t have to."
- jhow15 7y agoThank you! Yeah that's part of the secret sauce... but what I can say is that we monitor lots of different places: search, shopping, online communities looking for interesting topics and then we cross-check that against Google Trends data and curate topics ourselves.
