Trends on Reddit

In the past I found myself often looking at reddit trends for inspiration on blog posts, ideas or to check what is trending in a specific niche.
This is why we decided to build a little dashboard that could simplify the job and give also a bit of context on the sentiment around each topic.

We are still in Demo but you can check it here: https://www.trendyt.co

Do you resonate with the problem? Or is it something other tools do better already?
Thanks for any feedback!

    Just a quick comment - I found the idea intriguing and went to your page, but stopped before I clicked on the Register button. I think I wanted to get a little more before submitting my details, maybe a preview of what I might be getting, or the ability to do a simple search on my topic of interest to see if whatever you come up with is useful. Maybe a "Login with Google" would have reduced friction a bit. Just wanted to let you know, since people who drop off typically don't leave comments :)

      Great feedback, thanks!

      I got the same about reducing friction. I am probably going to do both, add a bit of a preview on the login page and add a login with google, didn't think about it :)

      Thanks again! :)

    Do you have a demo video?

    Or is there a way for a quick test on the landing page without having to register?

    I think it's interesting enough to consider but not hair-on-fire enough to set up an account without getting a better idea of what's offered (and my bar for signing up to things is pretty low).

      I get it. Maybe we should add a little video or some screenshots on the landing page to give a feeling what it looks like.
      If you want to check some screenshots they are in our PH launch page https://www.producthunt.com/posts/trendyt

      Thanks!

    Hey tropianhs! Good job completing the demo! I rely heavily on Reddit for user growth, so I played around. Here's my take:

    • I like the list view where I can see all post titles at once.
    • Would be nice to see the full post title and vote count in the popular section.
    • I'm not sure how sentiment would help in making a blog post. Is there?
    • I think it's easier to start with focused subs such as Startup, Entrepreneur, SideProjects, especially if you want to keep promoting this demo on indie hackers? The 6 subs now feel a bit random.
    • I'm not sure if I can do anything with popular words. Maybe filter out common words aggressively like Case, Test, Fuck (cough) for Worldnews for examle.
    • Maybe show the flairs too?
    • I think Reddit analytics has great potential. It reminds me of something like ExplodingTopics (for Google trends). If you can show the data that's rising over a longer span than the week, you might be able to show the trend better.

    Hope it helps!

    I'd appreciate if you take this 3 min survey for my user discovery:)

    Hey, I played around a little bit, the tool looks promising. The one thing I didn't like is I couldn't see the whole phrase for most of the 'Post Title' column. I wonder if it would be better to make this column a little wider somehow.

    Good work anyway

      Thanks for playing with it!

      We wanted to give a view of all post titles at once, that is the reason why we limited the number of words shown in a title.
      Maybe we can put a tooltip that shows the whole title once you hover with the mouse. You think it may help?

      1. 1

        Yes, totally! The tooltip would be perfect for this.
