Ask HN: How do you explore emerging technologies/trends?

Hey Hacker News community,

It's evident that AI is garnering considerable attention, but I'm interested in identifying steadily growing solutions like Shopify or Webflow.

These platforms have established themselves in the market and are fostering entire ecosystems, opening doors for new service providers and SaaS startups.

How do you explore emerging technologies? What tools/reports do you use to foresee upcoming significant trends?

TIA!
