🧠 What is TrendPulse?

TrendPulse is a futuristic, lightweight news-and-trends web app that helps you discover what’s trending,
understand stories faster, and compare how multiple sites report the same event.

Best for:

creators, entrepreneurs, researchers, students, journalists, and anyone who wants quick “signal over noise.”

⚡ Quick Start (2 minutes)

  1. Pick a Region + Category
    Select your country/region and a category (Tech, Business, AI, Sports, etc.).
  2. Browse Story Groups
    Feeds appear as grouped stories (example: “Elections update (5 sources)”).
  3. Click a Story Group
    TrendPulse expands the group and loads a brief in the Brief panel.
  4. Use Compare / Timeline
    See how multiple sites covered the story and how coverage evolved over time.
  5. Save or Export
    Save to Reading List, generate a digest/newsletter, or share as an image.
Tip: If feeds take time to load, TrendPulse shows a loading splash. This is normal because sources are fetched from the web.

🧩 Story Groups + Smart Clustering

TrendPulse groups similar stories together so you see the “main topic” instead of duplicates.
Each group shows the number of sources reporting it.

How to use

Click a Story Group to expand the sources.
Click any source item to load its brief and open the original article in a new tab when needed.

Why it’s powerful

You spot the biggest stories faster, and you can compare multiple angles with one click.

📝 Brief Panel + Key Point Enhancer

The Brief panel summarizes the selected story inside TrendPulse.
It also runs an AI-free Key Point Enhancer to generate structured insights:

Key Point Enhancer output

✅ What happened • ✅ Why it matters • ✅ What’s next
(based on entities, top nouns/verbs, and story structure — no AI APIs)

🕒 Story Timeline View

Timeline shows how a topic evolved from the earliest source to the latest source.
This helps you understand story progression and update speed.

Use Timeline when the story is breaking (elections, product leaks, markets, disasters, policy updates).

🧭 Compare Coverage

Compare Coverage helps you see how different sources frame the same event.
Great for identifying emphasis, missing details, or conflicting angles.

Best usage

Use Compare Coverage after selecting a group — you’ll see alternate titles and related coverage from other sources in that cluster.

Pro move

Save the best source to Reading List, then export as Newsletter or Share Image.

🎯 Personal Interests (Include / Exclude)

Personal Interests lets you tune TrendPulse to your exact needs.
Add keywords you want more of (Include) and remove noise (Exclude).

Examples

Exclude: celebrity gossip rumor

⭐ Reading List + Offline Pack

Save stories you want to revisit. TrendPulse can store them locally and export them as an “Offline Pack”.

Save

Offline Pack

❓ FAQ

Why do feeds sometimes take time to load?

Feeds come from external sources (RSS/news endpoints). Some servers respond slowly or block requests.
TrendPulse uses fallbacks and caching, but occasional delays are normal.

Does TrendPulse use AI APIs for summaries?

No. The Key Point Enhancer uses local, AI-free extraction methods (entities + noun/verb scoring + structure).

Can I use TrendPulse for daily content writing?

Yes. Use Digest + Newsletter Mode to generate structured content fast.
Then open original sources for deeper context before publishing.

What’s the difference between TrendPulse v5 and TrendPulse Mini v3?
