Platform Data

GitHub

Searches public repositories matching your topic:

Reddit

Searches threads via Reddit's public JSON API:

Twitter

Activity Levels

Trend Detection

The tool analyzes recency of activity to determine trend:

Trend is calculated from:

• GitHub: Last commit dates on top repos
• Reddit: Post creation dates on top threads

Use Cases

1. Validate product ideas - Check if people are actively discussing and building in your niche
2. Find content opportunities - Discover active subreddits and trending GitHub repos to reference
3. Competitor research - See what's popular and well-received in your space
4. Timing decisions - Growing trends suggest good timing; declining may indicate saturation

Limitations

• GitHub search returns max 1000 results; repos count reflects actual total
• Reddit results limited to 25 threads per search
• Sentiment analysis is based on upvote ratios, not NLP
• Twitter data is placeholder pending API integration
