A few times I saw news about a company that I liked and, upon Googling, noticed that it had gone public a few weeks prior. By this time, the stock had already shot up. So I set out to fix this problem and built IPOs.fyi.

It's by no means finished but I am proud that I built my first software product and would love feedback. If you are interested, you can use promo code HN20 for 20% off the first month!

It looks cool. Still growing as an investor so not going to join just yet..but I’ve shared with a few friends... what software and services did you use to build out the site? If you don’t mind sharing. I like how it goes from sign up to paywall.

Thanks! Built in Python/Flask to scrape IPOs and pull the financial docs from the SEC. A few cron jobs make it all work. I wanted to get this out quickly and didn't want to deal with building auth/payment infra, so I actually used Memberstack for that piece. It's extremely easy to use.

Let me know if you have any more questions

I would love to get a free preview or 7 free days or something before I decide to pay. Would like to see what the content looks like :)

Heard this feedback from a few folks and definitely agree. How do you think I should differentiate the paid vs free option?
