Nice UI to compare different assets quickly. It would be even more useful if it showed percentage change rather than $ change.

Nice work, clean and simple.

Careful about data distribution/licensing as exchanges have explicit data distribution clauses with Yahoo. If you got permission through Yahoo you're all set.

Great idea for any kind of ambient display. Could use it to CI or server stats.

Thanks! I'm actually working on that as well, the favicon doesn't work yet though:

- https://uptimecore.com/

- https://uptimecore.com/domains?domains=google.com

Edit: note that uptimecore is still not as nice, not so flexible, e.g. I need to add a time adjuster, and the favicon, and some other details like that.
