I created an account a while ago, but it still just shows "we'll email you when your account is ready" - am I missing something?
It's crazy to see how far @aprilzero has come with this. Actually bringing his idea to life, and turning it into a profitable business. There's a lesson to be learnt here in regards to working passionately and finishing your side-projects. Designers who can engineer are a step ahead of everyone else IMO.

Hey @aprilzero what was the backend stack you went with to build something like this? Just curious :)
We've split the backend into a service layer written in Go, a data fetching and processing layer also written in Go, and a web layer written in Python/Coffeescript. We use Kafka to connect a lot of the pieces together, and data is stored in PostgreSQL and Cassandra.
