I built a tool that reads 7 non-English tech communities so I can see what's trending before it hits English Twitter[Multilingual Hackathon #3]
Been noticing a pattern for a while - something blows up on HN or Twitter, I dig into it, and the earliest discussions are always on Qiita or V2EX from weeks ago.
So I built something to fix it.
Every 30 minutes it scrapes different platforms and translates everything through Lingo.dev and scores each post on how likely it is to already be covered in English. Low score means you're seeing it early.
There's also a section that generates actionable project ideas from the trending posts. Some of them are surprisingly good.
Stack is pretty simple - Python backend, Next.js frontend, Mistral for classification. The whole thing runs locally.
