Nice product! Great job! I think this can be pretty useful.

What do you use to get the news/aggregates ? Any specific API?

Is it open source?

And is the sentiment only based on title? I built a similar product not long ago, would love to see how how it's built and perhaps contribute :)

Thanks, much appreciated! I'm glad you find it somewhat useful :)

Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com, which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that).

The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix, with a couple main objectives:

- Familiarize myself with Tailwind - Set up a really smooth developer experience - Learn about deploying Elixir + Phoneix apps - Build something of some use!

I'd love to see your project as well – happy to discuss more!

You need commentary

I'd go the other way, please don't add commentary and a good way to monetize this kind of site would be to charge for access to a separate related forum/discourse instance. Optionally you could show comments if someone wants to see them on the page (or include a link to the dedicated forum thread for every post).

Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits and/or have people attempting to pump and dump.

I don't know; I'd be pretty pleased to be running (and monetizing!) a site at the scale & impact of WSB.
