From signal to strategy in three steps
We scan Hacker News, GitHub, Readwise, and dev communities daily. A cascade pipeline filters mainstream noise and surfaces terms that are new, cross-source, and acquiring momentum.
Each term gets a full research report — definition, trend projection, why-now analysis, monetization outlook, story angles, and buildable product ideas. Human reviewed.
Published Tuesdays. Use the research to write content, pitch newsletters, build products, or register domains before the term trends on Google.
Human-curated, not auto-generated
Every report is written and checked by a human. No model-only autogen, no scraping spam content.
Every claim cites an external URL you can open — official docs, launch posts, HN threads, GitHub repos.
When a term is contested (license changes, safety claims, author disputes), we name the critics as well as the proponents.
Never miss a new term
5–8 emerging terms every Tuesday. Research, story angles, buildable ideas. Free while we're in early access.
