#82How is this different from Glimpse https://meetglimpse.com/ ?
We both find rising trends but we differ in so many ways.
First and foremost, we are an actual tool you can use, not a simple newsletter.
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.

#85How 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!
You're running this on a $5 server? Impressive! Thanks for making the stats open.
Your scrapers are probably expensive to run, right? They don't seem to be listed.

#88The 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.
Do you mind pointing to some links that explain why?

#89Whose is your target customer? Ie what are their job titles and what are their jobs? How would your tool fit into their workflow?
Hello, at this point this question is hard to answer. I've identified a lot of real customer profiles (as I call them) that can use the product and receive value. Some of those are: e-commerces, marketers, affiliates, investors, SEO experts. If you are curious, you can read more about each of them on the homepage, in the "use cases" section. I don't know which one of these customer profiles will benefit the most at t…
Nice. A lot of people have said that tools like Glimpse and ExplodingTopics are cool and fascinating but they find it hard to find a concrete use case for them. once you find that target audience, I recommend really nailing down that value proposition. Rather than rely on people trying to find a job to be done for it.
