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.
Under the hood, I also try to predict how a trend will perform in the near future by using Facebook Prophet and other similar technologies. Right now we are predicting using the last 5 years of data on any topic.
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.
So this is a bit like https://explodingtopics.com but with a different angle to find the categories and trends? I see no "world/global" option, is that on purpose?
I do like how the data is presented in the details page. In exploding topics you have to leave the site to see the same on gtrends.
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.
Exploding Topics has a one huge advantage. They don't require account to search and test. Maybe leave basic features for everyone to use without account?
You do require an account to search because I'd like to understand who is searching and protect me a little bit better against bots. Also, searching has a much higher computing cost for me under the hood.
Hope it explains why I did it this way.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for explaining. So Exploding topics as a Service and with additional features to make it a business. Can be interesting depending on how accurate your trend spotting are and how well the prediction beta feature works. Keeping track of new technology trends and competitors offerings is a healthy amount of work in any business. If a service could already take out the initial search part that could be value.
Really cool - I'm interested in this. Despite similar services - I like your opportunity indicator. Love the search functionality idea - but hit a bug so it took a couple of tries to get it to search.
This has potential and I hope you keep working on it. I would consider paying for it down the road if it's more mature. Also hit the free limits very quickly.
Thanks for the feedback. We have no limits on all tiers regarding searches: you can search all the keywords/topic you want, for free.
The only limit we have on the free plan is the fact that you can track only 1 trend, meaning that you can receive alerts only for one trend.
The other limit we have on the free plan is regarding curated trends, because these are trends that we personally curate and are rising and I feel like $9/m is not a lot of money to get access to those opportunities.
Are you referring to any of these limits in particular?
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 this point. It's too soon, but time will tell.
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.
Tried adding a monitor for a trend with two words, got lots of matches for just one of the words that is generic. Tried then again but putting the two words in quotes, expecting it'll match the entire query instead of each one of them individually, but then encountered bug that quotes turn into %22 and trend report has no data.
Otherwise, looks like a useful service! Thanks for sharing

Btw, I'm pretty sure that I originally launched this tool before them. I'm just revamping it now =)
I tried it out and it doesn't seem to support unicode well.
I searched for "学校" (Japanese: gakkou, school) in Japan and the results page was headed with "%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1".
Additionally, the actual results weren't great; it found a 2014 movie and a handful of Amazon/Youtube searches that aren't accurate. Some of the Youtube search results weren't even Japanese, but Chinese.
Just in case I'd weirdly picked a bad word (dubious since school closings etc. are all over the news), I also tried パンくん (Japanese: pan-kun, the name of a chimpanzee who was famous for being with Shimura Ken, a recently deceased comedian), which is currently trending on Twitter.
On the website you are showing 7 trends for free. So I created an account in the assumption that I can see more for free. But when I logged in I can only see 6 for free and then you are trying to upsell me. That doesn't make sense.
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 do you think it shows the data it's showing?
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
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?
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.

> 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.
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.
The project looks very good. It would be nice a feature to modify the time range, for instance on the Covid-19 trends, Zoom is -50% over the last 30 days. It would be interesting to know the change over 2 or 3 months.
Thanks! Yes, range modifier is coming, but also please take note that -50% is the change regarding the last 30 days compared to the previous 30 days.
This year the month over month growth in the US was 3.52% which is very good. And, the average interest was only 4.85% which tells me there's still a lot of margin for growth.
It seems to be incorrect in regards to zoom. Zoom interest rose 30ish percent from March 3 until today. During that time there was a 20% increase in uaers. The interest level should match levels somewhat.
Thanks for the comment.
Again, here we are discussing two different things.
Interest for Zoom in the last 30 days has definitely grew and we reflect that. Take a look at https://treendly.com/trend/zoom under the "This week & month" tab.
The minus 50% is referring to the interest level of the last 30 days compared to the interest level in the previous 30 days.

Sorry about that, I'm manually adding them one by one after I test them.

I didn't get any trend information at all.
Yes, I'm aware of the bug. We don't support Japanese characters still. Sorry, I'll fix it as soon as I can.
Meanwhile, please give the tool a second chance by searching in English if you can.
Thanks for the feedback!
One possible glitch. I searched for “.net” (as in the programming framework) and got no google searches. Maybe am escaping issue there too?
Thanks a lot and thanks for the feedback. It's probably due to dot in the search query. I'll fix it! =)
Edit: Also, the website field doesn't accept at least some ccTLD's.
Thanks for the feedback.
Re: "Too many requests", not really but I do have some throttling in place. I'll see what's going on.
Re website field: I'm just using an HTML5 input with HTML validation (type="URL" kind of thing).
I'll fix these ASAP. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the comment!
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:

The graph is a little bit adjusted, but if you go on Google Trends, you will actually see the same trend: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&ge...

Happy to discuss with you (OP) about some things I learned along the way.
We also have:

Among others...
Are you (OP) planning to make this a business?
"Proudly built nomading." i love it.
Thanks for commenting!
We also have a partner for e-commerce data (usecart.com)
Interesting project, btw
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)
How do you get access to Amazon searches, google searches etc? do you have to pay for those?
If you are curious, at https://rubini.solutions you can check out my other SaaS products =)

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?
Yes, we both find rising trends but we differ in so many ways.

> 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.
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!
A lot of keywords/topics. We don't currently support languages with special characters. Please, search in English.
Your scrapers are probably expensive to run, right? They don't seem to be listed.
I agree with your analysis, actually. I'll try with straight lines and see how it looks!
Thanks for the feedback!
If your data points are equally spaced in time, look into 'sinc interpolation'
