The briefings are public now.

The briefings are public. Seven days are up already. The pipeline auto-pushes the markdown file to the site after each run. Vercel rebuilds and the page is live in under a minute.

Curious if this is actually useful to you. The format, the info, any of it.

What shipped

• Public briefings live. Every daily briefing is now published at /tools/trend-detector/briefings/[date]. The pipeline auto-pushes via GitHub API after each run.
• Trend memory. The pipeline now reads the last 7 days of output and annotates every cluster with days_seen, trajectory (rising/stable/fading), and best_day_score. A signal that's been building for 5 days reads differently than one that appeared this morning.
• Reddit validation overhaul. One LLM call now handles both subreddit selection and pain query generation together. The queries use language real people post before a trend has a name (not the keyword itself, but the frustration underneath it). The briefing now surfaces up to 3 raw excerpts per cluster so I read real voices before the LLM's opinion.
• Pipeline hardening. Scorer word-boundary filter, cluster deduplication, briefing format restructure, Reddit post injection into LLM context, gpt-5.4 upgrade. A week of work that doesn't feel like shipping but makes every future output better.

Why

The briefings have been useful to me privately. I've been busy building nextjs_boilerplate, boilerplate, modryn-studio-v2, and an actual repo that came directly from a briefing signal: goanyway. The question is whether anyone else finds the briefings useful. The only way to find out is to make them public.

If people find them, read them, and come back, that's the signal I need before building anything on top of this.

What's next

I'll start sharing and see if anyone cares.
