   Thank you so much! That's actually exactly why I built it in the first place, so definitely going to be "eating my own dog food" with this for the next project idea :)

   Thank you! And congrats on selling your side projects too :) You're pretty close there yeah - so it was a huge win! Especially given it had no revenue like you say.

   Hi everyone, Josh here the writer. I’d like to give thanks to all the people here on Hacker News who supported the project during that launch and any questions or comments just let me know! The short version (summarized from the article): I

   This seems like a great opportunity to grab that twitter handle you always wanted.

    I think it really depends on the trend. Some can be spikes or fads especially in fashion or food. But equally, some keep rising and turn out to be part of broader industry trends that you regret not getting in when you first discovered them

    Yeah right now there is a tech bias since the scripts and sources on the backend are focussed more on that.

    Thanks!! It's based on regression analysis of the topic's data.

    Thank you! I'd recommend filtering by 12months or less or selecting the "exponential" trends filter type to surface the hottest stuff.

    I had the same question recently and so built an app to surface rapidly growing google trends. It was a Show HN project not long ago and people seemed to like it: https://trennd.co I've also noticed a lot of larger trends t

    I’m always surprised how, in my experience at least, people with less exposure to animals usually underestimate their ability to understand their surroundings and even feel emotions.

    Yeah that makes a lot of sense to compare trend lines across channels - thanks for sharing!

    Hey Noah, great work with Glimpse! Josh here from https://trennd.co/ which I recently built and launched on Show HN too. We're tackling the same problem of surfacing new trends, just in different ways! Interested to he

    I'd love to go as granular as possible, at least 30 days. Real-time would be ideal, but as you note - Google Trends rate limiting soon becomes a hurdle especially when you potentially multiply by different geographies.

    by jhow15 7y ago

    Absolutely agree! How specific/granular would be the most valuable to you - at the city level perhaps?

    They're sorted by gradient. But you can sort by upvotes too.

    Last 30 days - got it! That's an interesting angle regarding Alibaba. The hard part might be automatically grouping similar items, but definitely can see the huge value in this.

    That's a brilliant idea, will add somewhere for people to make suggestions. Thank you!

    Of course - I have scripts constantly monitoring the web for potentially interesting keywords. I then check google trends data for that topic/keyword and analyze the gradient of the line of best fit over different timeframes. If the gr

    Yeah - just got hugged! Upgraded my mongodb atlas cluster to resolve the issue, apologies.

    Definitely - the glimpse newsletter looks good and is the same concept of surfacing new Google trends. I didn't like being limited to just a few trends per month everyone else sees via newsletter though. I was looking for an interactiv
