#52Hi Mike, your service and interface remind me Exploding Topics [ https://explodingtopics.com/ ]. Known as Trennd before and launched here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20478339 I noticed you have a related searches section with amazon queries and youtube queries. Do you plan to display accounts/pages ranking the best for these queries?
Hey there,
Yes, we both find rising trends but we differ in so many ways.
First and foremost, we give our users the ability to monitor a keyword/topic over time. As a user, you can receive daily, weekly and monthly email alerts.
Secondly, you can search a keyword/topic in any country and what you search stays private to you so that you can build your own private library of trends.
Thirdly, each trend has so many related topics that we find by querying Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc that you can dive into.
And finally, we have a beta feature where the tool forecasts how a trend will likely perform in the next 6 months.
> Do you plan to display accounts/pages ranking the best for these queries?
No, but I do have another tool in the making for Amazon self publishers. I don't know if you are in that target market.

#53I created something similar to be deployed on any network (internet, company, even social group): https://hnprofile.com/ Happy to discuss with you (OP) about some things I learned along the way.
Seems cool! Your thing is specific to HN, though, right? I plan to integrate HN as a source in Treendly, too.
The way our system works (might be similar - but Treendly looks like integrations?) is looking solely at comments. Basically, all that’s sent to our API are messages (author, comment/message, and some unique identifier). From there we use topic modeling to determine related topics, track sentiment, trends, author expertise, etc
We also have:
Among others...
Are you (OP) planning to make this a business?

Yes! It relies on Google Trends, Google News, Google searches, Amazon searches, Twitter searches and YouTube searches (for now!)
We also have a partner for e-commerce data (usecart.com)

Got it, yes. Building successful SaaS products is my business =)

Very cool. I guess as you grow, you could get more partners and the data will keep getting more and more accurate. I wish big guys like Amazon released aggregated sales data. How do you get access to Amazon searches, google searches etc? do you have to pay for those?
Absolutely. I don't pay to access data. All of my projects are around collecting data. I'm a master scraper ️ If you are curious, at https://rubini.solutions you can check out my other SaaS products =)
Just checked your list of products, very cool!
I've always wondered about building a career with scraping, but never got around to it. One reason is the legality of scraping - big sites like Craigslist have gone after (and shut down) smaller projects. I believe priceonomics (YC company) built a big business with scraping.

#57How many trends you are currently tracking?
How many in total are curated trends?

Hello,
With Treendly, I am embracing transparency and openness by sharing our app and revenue metrics with everyone.
So, you can find that info here: https://treendly.com/open
So far, we have 1.5K trends in the db but not all are growing and rising.
Keep in mind that we track a lot more keywords/topics in order to find a rising trend.

#59The interest over time graph uses spline interpolation to connect the datapoints, while that might look prettier than straight lines, it is something that is strongly discouraged in a scientific / data analysis context, because the curving line does not carry meaningful information.

Hey there,
I agree with your analysis, actually. I'll try with straight lines and see how it looks!
Thanks for the feedback!
