Fascinating app, there a lot of trends I thought I'd see, but also a lot that really surprised me. Well done with the app!
Josh Howarth
@gabrielle_kim1 Thanks Gabrielle :)
Brian Dean
@gabrielle_kim1 Thanks Gabrielle. Same here: I was surprised by at least half of them.

?makers does this work on the assumption that covid is over now? Because... well, it's still starting.
Josh Howarth
@jessicagottlieb Hey Jessica, good question. We're not assuming covid is over just yet. But we see these consumer behaviours and topics as being permanently affected even after it is over.

Hi @backlinko Thanks for sharing this! This is literally what I needed right now :)
Josh Howarth
@keybloc Glad to hear it Andrew!
Brian Dean
@keybloc No worries, Andrew

Great insights! Could you tell us more about the tech behind identifying the trends? How do you define which keywords to analyse?
Josh Howarth
@oriolgarcia Of course Oriol. We monitor all across the web (search, social, shopping, etc) constantly for interesting keywords. And then run algorithmic analysis of the search growth of those topics to determine if it's trending.

WooW, looks great. Congrats.

So interesting! Really like your approach to look at things in the future despite all the negative effects of the pandemic. It's really exciting to see which topics interest grows as people have more time at home. Great work, hope you'll continue!🙌 When I saw your post here, I became directly aware of it, as I am currently working on a project about the potentials of COVID-19. I think that besides all the tragic events, there are also positive things that people can take something from for the future. Feel free to have a look at it, I'd love to hear your opinion! 🧪 https://www.producthunt.com/post...

There is a bunch of interesting stuff here that I never would have thought of. Nice work! What made you go with the 5 year timeline as default? Doesn't that seem a bit long if this is showing post covid-19 trends?
Josh Howarth
@rileytomasek Thanks Riley! That's true that 5 years includes a lot of non-coronavirus time. But we chose it for this reason: it gives good context to see the impact of COVID relative to beforehand.
Riley Tomasek
@joshahowarth That makes sense, but if you look at the five year trend line, a lot of the examples are seeing marginally different growth than the five years prior. Examples are dermasampling and omad. It's also a bit misleading to show the percentage change over five years. This is a great idea, but it could be improved by addressing a few of these details.
Josh Howarth
@rileytomasek Appreciate the feedback. I see what you mean. It's tough to choose a timeframe that best demonstrates every topic's individual pattern. So maybe next time we'll use different timeframes depending on the individual topic, or a shorter timeframe like you say.
Mankaran Ahluwalia
love it, fascinating insights. Congratulations guys, was hoping to see climate change or sustainability trending, heard it being mentioned with COVID and economic recovery now!!
Josh Howarth
@themankaran Cheers Mankaran. Interesting point about sustainability - we'll keep our ears to the ground on that one.

@shovan Thanks Shovan 👍

Where are you guys pulling the data from? Just curious
Josh Howarth
@keybloc Hey Andrew, we're sourcing topic data from all across the web: search, social, shopping and so on.
