SignalSift

SignalSift is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that tracks early-stage internet trends by monitoring small but fast-moving communities across Reddit, Discord public servers, niche forums, Substack comments, and creator newsletters. It clusters repeated phrases, screenshots, product mentions, and slang into “trend seeds,” then scores them for velocity, cross-community spread, and staying power. An AI layer generates plain-English briefs: what the trend is, who is driving it, why it’s resonating, and what adjacent trends it connects to. Users can set watchlists (topics, brands, creators, aesthetics), get weekly digests, and export evidence packs for presentations. This is not a generic social listening tool; it’s designed for culture and internet-native behavior, with an emphasis on provenance (where it started) and receipts (links and timelines). Expect imperfect coverage at first; the value is in early signal, not total capture.
