1 year ago, we launched the first version of Exploding Topics on Product Hunt. Since then weβve added thousands more trends. Massively improved the app. And inspired new product ideas for some fellow makers. Check out ET 2.0!
Exploding Topics is one of my favourite newsletter subs. Got my hands on a Pro subscription and love getting the weekly updates every week. As a bit of an SEO nerd, love digging into their analysis of emerging trends. Highly recommend.
Massive congrats @joshahowarth, @backlinko, and @kyle_byers!
For 2021, I was wondering if Exploding Topics would be interested in the idea of starting a product studio: mentoring a batch of startups/entrepreneurs which plan to compete in specific exploding trends detected on the platform.
@yesnoornext Thank you Vincent for your support from day zero π Oooh yeah, a product studio like that would be a lot of fun with huge potential. Great idea!
Hey hunters! π
Almost exactly 1 year ago, we launched Exploding Topics on Product Hunt. And we were overwhelmed by the response! Our fellow makers here seemed to like it a lot.
So we got to work improving the tool.
And today we're proud to show you ET 2.0:
β‘ 3X new trends (1,579 previously β 4,492 now).
π¨βπ§βπ¦ Related exploding trends (on each topic page).
π We cherry-pick the best topics for our homepage so it's constantly fresh.
π Refined trend detection algorithm to detect better quality trends. And MUCH sooner.
π¦ New sources for detecting trends: podcasts, Amazon (+ many more).
π Added growth values and descriptions to all topics.
π€ Turbocharged the search algorithm.
π Refined categories (including pets) and streamlined topic filter options.
π Free weekly newsletter with our best Exploding Topics. Plus, expert insight and analysis.
π One indie hacker even built and SOLD a SaaS product based off a trending topic he found on ET.
After our first PH launch, everyone asked for an Exploding Topics newsletter. So we built it and 60K people now subscribe π
Tell us what you'd like to see next from ET in 2021!
@andrew_holland Cheers Andrew! Yeah we have all kinds of users, it's pretty hard to narrow down. VCs, founders, eCommerce, bloggers, affiliates. And you never run out of gift ideas or stuff to chat about with mates.
Very cool. Very interesting to explore around the different categories. I even found a trending topic that would make a perfect holiday gift for my wife! (topic bokksu). Thanks for sharing!
