OpenPulse-style niche trend radar

Cut marketing noise and surface only 2–3 genuinely worth-reading new projects a day

Problem

Indie hackers and overseas-market researchers drown in information: Twitter, Product Hunt, and forums are full of wrapper tools hyping each other and anxious essays. Those who build their own pipelines discover semantic-dedup thresholds are hard to tune—too strict kills projects in the same space using a different approach, too loose lets republished press releases through. GitHub trending sites usually just show a list, not personalized filtering.

Solution

A lightweight trend radar for individual researchers: multi-source crawling with entity normalization, tunable semantic dedup and signal-to-noise scoring, delivering a small number of high-value project cards daily by email or RSS. Filter by language, topic, and star velocity.

Users

Indie developers, overseas-market researchers, engineers tracking tech stacks, angel investors

MVP

Scrape GitHub trending plus a few public sources; rank by 7/30-day star change; language and topic filters; daily digest email or RSS; simple dedup and marketing-content downranking

Revenue

Free tier with a fixed daily item count; paid plan for custom keywords, more sources, and team sharing; API billed per call

Why now

AI has lowered the barrier to launch, causing a project glut that makes manual gold-panning worse, while trend-tracking sites still lack personalized signal-to-noise filtering for indie developers
