This is very cool. I wouldn't make buying decisions off of this, but it is a good starting point to get a pulse on the developer zeitgeist on any given topic.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you say, "get a pulse on the developer zeitgeist on a particular topic." I really enjoyed using it to get a sense of what developers feel about a particular topic. I also learned about new products I wasn't aware of.

Always cool seeing stuff in this space.

Regarding "zeitgeist", about a year ago I built something similar called https://zeitgaist.ai which also incorporates other sources like Mastodon, Bluesky, some subreddits etc.
