TrendRadar is a hot topic aggregation tool designed to filter out information overload and deliver only relevant news. It targets investors, content creators, and general users interested in staying informed about trending topics across multiple platforms. The tool automates the process of monitoring and reporting on hot topics, saving users time and effort.

How It Works

TrendRadar aggregates trending topics from over 35 platforms, including major Chinese social media and news sites. It employs intelligent keyword filtering, allowing users to specify personal keywords to receive only relevant information. The system supports three push modes: 'incremental' for new information, 'current' for real-time trends, and 'daily' for scheduled summaries. This approach ensures users receive tailored, actionable information without being overwhelmed by irrelevant content.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: One-click fork from GitHub, with Docker deployment supported.
• Prerequisites: GitHub account, webhook URLs for notification platforms (e.g., Enterprise WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk, Telegram).
• Setup Time: Claimed to be as fast as 1 minute for basic setup.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project is licensed under GPL-3.0. This license is copyleft, meaning derivative works must also be open-sourced under the same license. Compatibility with closed-source commercial applications may be restricted due to the copyleft nature of GPL-3.0.

Limitations & Caveats

The project relies on external APIs (newsnow) for data, which could be a point of failure if those APIs change or become unavailable. While claiming "zero technical threshold deployment," setting up notification webhooks requires specific steps for each platform. The project's primary focus on Chinese platforms might limit its utility for users outside that ecosystem.
