Let’s get into it. spacetypegenerator.com (website, watch demo)Text animation generator for creating dynamic typography effects. Text flies, spins, explodes, and morphs. Perfect for reels and shorts. Search interest grew 500% year-over-year, from 6 to 36 with a dramatic spike to 80 in October. This is a classic viral growth pattern from social media discovery. These effects are eye-catching and difficult to create manually. The October spike suggests someone with significant reach shared the tool. What’s next: spacetypegenerator.com is part of the Accessible Motion Graphics trend. Professional-looking animations used to require After Effects and hours of work. Browser-based tools democratize motion graphics, letting anyone create engaging text effects. Canva Text Animations, Adobe Express, and Kapwing are other tools in this space. pointerpointer.com (website, watch demo)Move your cursor anywhere on screen, and the site finds a photo of someone pointing right at that spot. No purpose, just joy. Search interest grew 1625% year-over-year, climbing from 4 to 69 with a peak of 80 in December. Pointer Pointer is a perfect example of “useless but delightful” web experiences. The joy comes from the absurd precision and endless variety. These kinds of playful websites spread virally because they’re fun to share. What’s next: pointerpointer.com is part of the Internet Nostalgia trend. In an era of AI and serious applications, simple, quirky websites remind us of the internet’s playful origins. These experiences go viral because they’re refreshingly pointless in a world obsessed with productivity. The Useless Web, Staggering Beauty, and Patatap are other playful web experiments. nullfake.com (website, watch demo)Paste an Amazon product URL and see the adjusted rating based on authentic reviews only. Exposes products with artificially inflated ratings. Search interest shows an explosive recent spike, jumping from 0 to 43 in January. This is a new entrant gaining sudden visibility from viral social media exposure. Fake reviews on Amazon have become a growing problem, and consumers are increasingly skeptical. When a product has 4.8 stars but feels too good to be true, nullfake.com reveals the real picture. What’s next: nullfake.com is part of the Consumer Protection Tech trend. As e-commerce grows, so does the incentive for fake reviews. Tools that help consumers cut through manipulation are gaining traction. Fakespot, ReviewMeta, and The Review Index are other tools in this space. All of these websites have been added to the Powerful Websites Spreadsheet. Reply and let me know what you thought. Rj |
