Question

Any good website, datasets, keywords search that you are checking regularly? if any product launched on PH, even better!

Usually by being on this platform really!

Nabeel Amir · Answer

It's impossible to avoid the fact that emerging tech trends are popping up all over the place; but it's not always easy to figure out where they're coming from. It is possible, however, to find out what resources you should be using in order to improve your chances of finding new trends early on. 
In short, you need to find tech news sites and blogs (like ours!) that will tell you about these developments; and hopefully direct you towards great resources with more information.

One good way to find trends is by staying tuned to places like PH and Twitter. This is where people are regularly talking about new trends and innovative ideas, so finding threads here and taking on your own research is usually an excellent way to go!

Found out about PH about a month ago and it's my go-to place to discover new trends. Besides PH I use reddit.

Here in PH or Twitter.

Dylan Merideth · Answer

Not as specific as a particular keyword, but I find newsletters of folks who are long-time observers of the space to be valuable, I do this with crypto, tech products (product hunts newletter), and AI development.

Will also echo twitter. You get rumblings of things on there far before any mainstream outlet gets to it

Product Hunt 🙌

I basically check LinkedIn, Twitter, and PH daily, also read Medium. LinkedIn and Twitter are good if you know the right people and the right organizations to follow. You will then see a pretty useful and trendy newsfeed.

Btw, we’re launching in late April or the start of May. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/effecto
Our project is called: Effecto. It’s an app for detailed health tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.
