- Vercel KV
Home - today's trending keyword ranking plus a channel-based knowledge feed on one screen
Explorer - narrow the feed by topic chips, switch between knowledge, keyword, and date views
Search - popular keyword chips give the empty state a first move
My page - bookmarks, reading history, and settings in one place
Settings - font size, theme, and storage controls tuned for a tool people open daily
Login screen - the line "you can read freely without signing in" preserves the no-signup entry
- Problem
Even when you see a trending keyword, "why is this trending?" is a separate search. For someone who wants the context quickly, a one-line summary isn't enough; a long article is too heavy.
- Context
A lightweight curation experiment - auto-generated daily, with bookmarks and a read history.
- Hypothesis
Break a keyword into four categories (overview, background, impact, related) and the "why is this trending?" lands within five minutes.
- What I did
- Daily auto-collection of trends plus the AI generation pipeline for per-category explanations
- Bookmark / read-history / per-card sharing UI
- Product decisions
- No-signup entry - matches the identity of a light tool you come back to every day
- Uniform article length - consistency is what builds the habit of checking it daily
- Metrics
Live; metrics not yet measured.
- Outlook
Running on autopilot. Traffic and return-visit patterns need to accumulate before any ad or subscription model is considered.
- QA lens on this call
Daily auto-generated content, once it breaks, breaks for several days at once. Schema validation and fallbacks at every generation step were the first investment - to stop "invisible regressions."
