Pintwist

Pinterest trend detection for print-on-demand researchers.

Pintwist overlays save counts, reactions, comments, repins, and creation dates on every Pinterest pin you browse. Those signals feed into an aggregated dataset that surfaces trending niches across the whole iScaleLabs community — often days before the trend is obvious on any single pin.

What it does

📊

Overlay on every pin

Save count, reactions, shares, repins, comments, and creation date shown right on the pin tile. No clicks needed.

🔥

Cross-user trend detection

When 40 different installs all see the same pin in a week, Pinterest is amplifying it. That's a signal no single-user tool can surface.

🎯

Niche discovery

Aggregate by search term. See which niches are heating up, which are saturating, and which are collapsing — week over week.

🔒

Anonymous by design

Your contribution uses a random install ID — not your iScaleLabs account. The dataset is collective; your identity stays private.
