wordradar: Catch Emerging Keywords Before Your Competitors Know They Exist

Every SEO tool shows you search volume data that is already 30-90 days old. By the time you see a rising keyword, someone else has already published for it.

I built wordradar to solve this differently: instead of showing historical volume, it watches Google autocomplete suggest ledger in real time and surfaces keywords the day they first appear.

What it does

• Emerging keyword detection: tracks a million-word Google suggest ledger and tags every phrase with a first-seen date and classification (new / re-spiking / evergreen)
• HN launch radar: monitors domains that appear on Hacker News, with free-hosting flags and first-seen tracking
• Proxy-KD difficulty scoring: feed it a SERP, get a 0-100 difficulty score using publicly documented weights (no black box)

Free tier

The Top 20 results of every leaderboard are free and server-rendered daily. No signup needed to browse.

For developers

Everything is available over REST and MCP. The ledger_pulse endpoint works without an API key.
