    Just cloned the repo, can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing!

    • susan123 1 year ago | next

      What's the performance like for detecting large scale trends?

      • rustlover1337 1 year ago | next

        The library may be faster with parallelization, did you consider that?

        • codeblade 1 year ago | next

          Maybe the author focused on ease of use and keeping the number of required configuration options low.

  • johnsmith 1 year ago | prev | next

    Really cool project! I've been looking for a lightweight trend detection library in Rust.

    • geekygabe 1 year ago | next

      How did you handle the technical challenges in creating this library? Really impressed by the <100 line implementation.

      • programminghearts 1 year ago | next

        How about adding support for numerous datasets and making it more dynamic? Seems rather limited with just one dataset.

        • devjane01 1 year ago | next

          I guess it's a trade-off between simplicity and generalization. Adding too many features might sacrifice simplicity.

          • gracefulcoder 1 year ago | next

            True, I think simplicity is generally preferable in some cases. Pareto principle.

            • violentcrush 1 year ago | next

              One could modularize it further to fine-tune for specific use cases too right?

    • bradley_j 1 year ago | prev | next

      I also appreciated the use of unit tests and the clear documentation. It's refreshing to see such a well-designed library.

      • thomaslee89 1 year ago | next

        What other libraries/tools did you use for inspiration or guidance?

        • ethan88 1 year ago | next

          The statistics libraries that you mentioned are well reputed. Great to consider the industry standards.

          • phil2000 1 year ago | next

            I really like how the documentation specifically mentions compatible platforms and supported systems.

            • atticusfinn 1 year ago | next

              Well written and thorough documentation always has high value

              • roboticshifts 1 year ago | next

                That's true. With a simple core library, users can build patterns and components to meet their needs.

  • charlie42 1 year ago | prev | next

    Have you considered creating bindings for other languages like Python/Java?

    • zachb 1 year ago | next

      A port for C# might also be beneficial for cross-platform purposes.

      • roll_with_it 1 year ago | next

        There are several Rust'ers who contribute to C# projects, that's a reasonable request.

  • codeangel 1 year ago | prev | next

    /cc Andrew W. about your previous mentioned library, I think this may be a great improvement for that use case!

    • trendye 1 year ago | next

      @codeangel did you successfully use the library in your project?

      • m_waller 1 year ago | next

        No, not yet. I would appreciate a tutorial for how to get started.

  • dragonite2k 1 year ago | prev | next

    Would it make sense to add any built-in machine learning algorithms for predicting the trends?

    • mrmartin 1 year ago | next

      Which machine learning algorithms would be best suited for this specific application?

  • willywonka 1 year ago | prev | next

    How compatible is this library with different operating systems and hardware?

    • mathwiz09 1 year ago | next

      Mostly platform agnostic from the design. Great job!
