Maker

Hey hunters! 👋 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: ⚡ 3X new trends (1,579 previously → 4,492 now). 👨‍👧‍👦 Related exploding trends (on each topic page). 🍒 We cherry-pick the best topics for our homepage so it's constantly fresh. 🔎 Refined trend detection algorithm to detect better quality trends. And MUCH sooner. 🔦 New sources for detecting trends: podcasts, Amazon (+ many more). 📈 Added growth values and descriptions to all topics. 🤖 Turbocharged the search algorithm. 🐕 Refined categories (including pets) and streamlined topic filter options. 💌 Free weekly newsletter with our best Exploding Topics. Plus, expert insight and analysis. 👏 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 🙌 Tell us what you'd like to see next from ET in 2021!

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.

used this to build

(169 points)

When researching the approach to take with this project, Exploding Topics had the cleanest UX and transparent pricing of all "trend sites" that I looked at. The initial SaaSy Trends design is clearly inspired from Exploding Topics, although we'll hopefully branch off into a more defined and unique style of our own in time.

Cover the off-the-wall to business practical trends. Often funny, often useful insight into consumer habits and other early trends
