Show HN: Early Shift – Detect trending Roblox mechanics 24-48h before saturation

https://github.com/SanchitSharma10/early-shift
1•san10•2h ago
I built a system that monitors 500+ Roblox games and correlates CCU spikes with YouTube creator activity to detect trending game mechanics before they saturate the market.

How it works: - Polls CCU data via RoProxy (TOS-compliant) - Tracks top 20 Roblox YouTube creators - Detects when: CCU growth ≥25% + YouTube video mentions game + mechanic keyword match (NEW/UPDATE/SECRET) - Alerts studios via Notion

Tech: Python, DuckDB, aiohttp, RapidFuzz. ~600 lines of code.

Use case: Studios can clone trending mechanics before 20+ competitors do the same.

Example: Could have caught Pet Simulator X's merge mechanic 36h before it hit Popular page (hypothetical - system is new).

GitHub: https://github.com/SanchitSharma10/early-shift

Built this in 3 days to explore multi-agent architecture patterns. Roadmap includes BERT classification and multi-signal fusion (TikTok/Twitter).

Open to feedback on the approach!

Looks like you've committed `.env` file with private info. I suggest you change token immediately and add `.gitgnore`! That's a *security risk*!

It's best practice to keep env files private, but commit something like `template.env` with placeholder values.

Other than that - looks like a must-use tool for every roblox studio!

Thanks for catching this. Strange part is I actually had added this to my git ignore last time, so maybe something went wrong in the process.

Highly appreciated!

Thank you for the feedback as well :)
