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 that other commenters have highlighted too:
- data privacy focussed products (DuckDuckGo/SimpleAnalytics)
- everything machine learning
- meat substitutes
- alternative forms of entertainment (axe throwing/escape rooms)
I am also running a pretty growing community on that on FB (Productized Startups)
Platforms that enable a diaspora of small businesses to operate as effectively as large organizations with minimal startup cost. Why build a massive services organization when you can enable and finance a takeover by a multitude of smaller players?

I'm pessimistic about governments coming together and coordinating an expensive effort to avert climate change. I also think the world is on a course to become increasingly divided and rivalrous, such that collaboration would be less likely, and nations less willing to compromise on their economic competitiveness. I think if there is an effort made (which there will probably have to be), it'll be something cheap and…
The reason there seems to be so much rivalry today is because only the shitty, attention grabbing and warmongering leaders and nations get all the attention. In the meanwhile, you have most nations around the world living and making progress peacefully. Nations that can be easily convinced by some form of aid or assistance to get on the bandwagon. Don't be fooled by the news media. Most peoples of the world just want…
don't really know what race has to do with it, but big international banks are a bigger threat since they won't let any nation unplug from the global economy. follow the money.

That's funny, the multi-national company I work for is removing all MS Office automation because MS apparently told us that unattended automation is against the licensing terms. It's OK if you're watching the computer I guess, but not on a server. Personally this didn't match what I found online (they said it was not supported i.e. if it breaks tough luck) but what would I know. Money must be spent retrofitting other…
They have specific solutions that are integrated into things like SharePoint to handle this so they're just putting the hurt on the big guys in order to get more monies. Total Microsoft play on that for sure - I've never ran into the same issue though.

This is a neat project well-executed. Most of the trends I see on the list I've already heard about. Is there a way to surface up and coming trends?

> The most pressing problem for humanity is global climate disruption. Our climate and ecology are certainly at risk, but I think the biggest threat in the world right now is the rapid rise of fascist China. They're challenging the notion that free speech and democracy are required for capitalism and economic gain. China has grown so emboldened under President Xi that they're no longer content to just alter or buy ou…

They're challenging the notion that free speech and democracy are required for capitalism and economic gain. That is exactly my main concern in the modern age also. Other countries are already interested in China's technology: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-23/sixth-world-int…
