The trends page

Open Trends from the sidebar to see the main trends feed. Each trend is displayed as a card showing:

• Title -- The trend name, often a headline or topic phrase.
• Score -- A number from 0 to 100 representing overall strength.
• Lifecycle badge -- A colored indicator showing the trend's current stage:
  • Blue: Emerging -- Just detected, low volume, early signal.
  • Green: Growing -- Gaining momentum, increasing sources and coverage.
  • Orange: Peaking -- At maximum intensity, highest media attention.
  • Yellow: Saturating -- Still active but growth has stalled.
  • Gray: Declining -- Losing momentum, coverage is dropping.
• Source count -- How many distinct sources are reporting on this trend.
• Top sources -- The most prominent platforms contributing data.

Filters

Use the filter bar at the top of the trends page to narrow results.

• Country -- Select from 50 countries (US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, China, India, Brazil, South Korea, Australia, and 40 more). Shows trends relevant to the selected region.
• Category -- Filter by one of 22 categories: Technology, AI, Science, Health, Business, Crypto, Sports, Entertainment, Politics, Weather, Disaster, Culture, Environment, Investigation, and others.
• Language -- Filter by any of the 28 supported languages (en, fr, es, de, it, pt, ja, ko, zh, ru, ar, hi, and more).
• Sort -- Order results by score (default), velocity, recency, or volume.

Filters combine with AND logic. Selecting "US" + "Technology" shows only technology trends detected in the United States.
