Glimpse's answer
Glimpse leverages a proprietary algorithm that doesnโt have the lag that other search volume data providers have. Other providers have a number of issues, including lag time and bundling similar keywords together, which decrease the accuracy of their estimates. This is especially important for trends - for example, many of the other tools showed โchatgptโ having 0 or minimal search volume in mid-January 2023 when Glimpse showed it having 4M searches. Google Trends data doesn't suffer from these issues, and Glimpse's data is the only source that aligns with Google Trends.

If you want to build something instead, I suggest taking a look at indie hackers to see what other people are doing or using a tool like glimpse to find trends before they pop-off and build a solution to those things. Source: almost 3 years ago
The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money.

For example; trends.co is not very good because the people that write for them are journalists, not business owners so although the writing is good, the ideas are poorly researched. On the other hand, meetglimpse.com is pretty good, they have nuanced and unique business ideas that you can take advantage of but the market research behind it is a little lacking, their chrome extension tool is great tho. And then... Source: about 3 years ago
a lot of things. I've built 3 online businesses that were profitable with under $1000. it's really just a hustle once you get product market fit. Starting something online shouldn't take that much money if you know how to test it. Check out like trends.vc, explodingideas.co, meetglimpse.com etc. They may be able to spark your creativity for ideas that could be good opportunities for the price point. Source: about 3 years ago
Great idea. You should scrape ideas from meetglimpse.com, explodingideas.co, trends.co and the other sites that post ideas. Would be an easy way to bulk up the document. Source: about 3 years ago
It took us a few months (I think it was 4) but now we released Macarons. After adding Macarons to the workspace you have to invite it to a channel and then can configure how often people of that channel are matched. Additionally you can specify how big the match groups should be and everyone participating can adjust their participation rate. That's basically it. Since Macarons is not over-boarded with features we... Source: about 4 years ago
