Kinda tangential: but what’s with startups naming their companies ending in vowels since 2010- especially ending in -ly? It kinda irks me but I can’t put my finger on it.

Hey there,

Good observation. I personally do not spend a lot of time finding a domain, or a logo, or setting up the perfect onboarding sequence, etc..

The truth is the business can work out with whatever domain. I have another SaaS (in the e-com space) that started with the domain angage.net and now we have usecart.com - maybe if we grow we'll get cart.com

But, when you start, you don't need 99% of the things you'd think you need - and a good domain is one of them.

When I'm starting a SaaS I focus on its core features and making it profitable.

Just my 2 cents

It started with registering .ly domains (think bit.ly). Then it stuck for others who weren’t using a .ly domain. Same trend occurred for .io domains. There was also that trend of removing vowels.

Good work! I have few questions: 1/ How do you determine keywords/topics. Do you use any kind of clustering, or do you manually enter the labels? 2/ How do you deal with different languages? 3/ How do you deal with Spams.

Hey there,

Sure.

1 - Please read https://treendly.com/tech and https://treendly.com/models - those should answer this =)

2 - We are still in the process of dealing with special characters in our search. But, it's coming along! Right now you can search in pretty much all languages that do not require special chars (English, Italian, etc..).

3 - Spams? I don't understand the question

Thanks for commenting!

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.…

Great idea - I can see this being popular. Small heads-up on responsiveness needing fixed on tablet in portrait view.

https://treendly.com/trend/Fitness?geo=FR There's a huge uptick for fitness gear and it seems not being signalled. All gear in France and Belgium are sold out. I'm pretty sure it's elsewhere too.

Hello Nico,

It depends on what you search. Just searching for "fitness" is not enough.

In fact, we did spot a trend. Look at trends like: - https://treendly.com/trend/at-home-workout?geo=FR - https://treendly.com/trend/gym-equipment-rental

You can also try searching trends directly in French (but without the special characters, please).

Thanks for commenting!
