Methodology

Novel Nuance keeps two parallel rankings:

• New & Fancy: favor recent discoveries, freshness, and cross-source surprise.
• Proven & Rising: favor authority, staying power, and renewed momentum.

The implementation borrows four product patterns:

• Exploding Topics: use multiple weak signals instead of one viral spike.
• Futurepedia: keep item pages explainable instead of dumping raw links.
• LibHunt: score developer tools with context, not stars alone.
• Docusaurus: ship the result as browsable docs, not just raw JSON.

The pipeline stores daily observations, preserves first-seen dates, and recalculates scores from rolling windows so the rankings can refresh incrementally.
