Update – Free Platform for Stock Analysis

#1

Post by _gsav »

First of all,

Thank you guys for the support, feature request and the bunch of bugs report that I received to make the website better.

Lots of you guys mentioned they don't like the concept of sign-up to the website when the information should be free.

I removed all barriers and you can now enjoy the website without signing up whatsoever.

The only reason to sign-up is to add stocks in your watchlist, participate in the portfolio tournament, share your memes, write a comment.

If there is anything else how to improve the website I would highly appreciate it :)

This looks so good! I missed your original post and wanted to add some comments here.

Saw that your screener filtering is instant. Do you have everything loaded to the client side? If you want some feedback, I think the filter slider for the active rule could use a bit of a redesign. The magenta color is too vibrant for me and the actual bar itself is barely visible (could use more contrast against page background).

For data providers, have you looked at EODHD? They are a bit more expensive compared to FMP but the data is a lot higher quality from what I've seen and they have 24/7 live chat support. I don't know if it would fit your budget but could be worth to ask their support. Disclaimer: I build something similar in this space and I'm currently trying to migrate from FMP to EODHD.

Always fun to see others build tools like this. Would love to chat more on discord if you are up for it. Just followed you on twitter so we could go from there. glhf

Thank you very much for the feedback :)

Never heard of EODHD but i will take a look now to see what benefits they could add to the website - Thanks!

If you want to hang around in discord you could add me "near114" or join the discord group https://discord.com/invite/KWX9SpHQQP

I have a couple thoughts -

0.it looks nice and colorful.

1. You can't right-click a stock and open in a new tab. The back button doesn't seem to work consistently.

2. Your top winner today is currently SRAX (up 10¢ / 400%). Now, Friday it was up 10¢, today it's down 8¢. Either way, it's a penny stock and you should filter out garbage like that. Also #2, GLSTR.

3. In the dividends calendar, you might want to include a column for annualized dividend percent.
