Hey everyone, my name is Mike and I'm the developer. On Treendly, you can search a topic or keyword in any region and immediately get an understanding of its trend. You can also set up alerts so that you can monitor a keyword/topic and be alerted when it begins trending. Treendly also curates trends. Getting in early on a trend is key these days and within a few minutes, you can find a topic that is worth exploring.…

Sales/marketing guy here. I like the idea. If you want to get more signups, be clearer about what I get if I signup. There is a huge yellow banner on the trend page, telling me it's better to signup. Use some of that space to tell me why it's better and what registered users get.

Is this based on Google Trends? Where is the data coming from? Interesting project, btw

Our data relies on Google and it is based on what consumers are searching for. Specifically, 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)

And how do you scrap Google data? They don't ban you or ask to enter "I am not robot" captcha?

How 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. Thanks for commenting!

How many keywords/topic ? BTW, seems broken https://treendly.com/trend/%D0%A4%D0%9D%D0%A0?geo=RU

Hey Mike,

Nice name! I hear you. Will update that banner with more info now! =)

Thanks for the feedback!

The 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!

There are other more valid ways to make a curved line.

If your data points are equally spaced in time, look into 'sinc interpolation'

Nope, it's probably just overloaded from HN. I just updated the trend and, as you can see, it does show the data: https://treendly.com/trend/javascript?geo=US We don't cather to any specific niche: Thanks for the comment!

According to the " Interest over time by search volume " graph over the last 5 years, interest/what-your-measuring seems to have decreased. I'm my experience, but I'm probably in a bubble, more and more people are talking, interested in and using JavaScript, in the last 5 years, but again, probably biased as I'm a web developer. Is the graph adjusted to the number of people on the planet or some other metric? Or why…

JS got an upswing with Node.JS. But was then EEE:ed.
