Thanks! Yeah, I’m one of the founders. It’s Nextjs on Supabase. We launched the news clustering just yesterday so I thought it would be nice to get some stealth HN feedback for it. We are planning to launch an API (rss style) for the news next week where you can get temporal clusters and everything. Imagine having full access to all of Twitter trending but across all news sources. We are trying to filter clickbait, S…

Since you asked for some, here's my immediate 2 cents: Please change the slide out on the left to be visible permanently. I have 1920 pixels of horizontal screen real estate, and the page is quite literally half empty whitespace anyway. For what conceivable reason is that menu on the left a hidden-by-default slide out? It even hides pertinent stock information. Also concerning the stock information, please add some w…

If you add stocks to your watchlist it will populate the empty whitespace with a table containing Watchlist Movers.

There's also http://text.npr.org/

Which I find intensely funny, because it’s forced on all EU IP addresses as an ostensible downgrade, but since they’ve added a decent CSS snippet to limit the line width I actually find it superior to the “full” version.

Check out https://markets.sh news. They are actually text only, from many different sources, clustered and summarized. It is really good to get a gist of what’s currently important without having to “read news” with the known nuisances that come with it. Edit, thank you for the feedback. Some clarifications: - we launched the news feature literally yesterday, it is MVP level so expect inaccuracies especially in the s…

This seems very promising. Have you considered adding an RSS feed?

I've been using this site for years but it's increasingly bit rotting and regularly serves broken links.

I like this, is your quote data live or delayed? Sparklines in your watchlist would be most welcome, plus better charts in general; candlesticks, range % between two points etc.

Thank you! We have realtime data but IEX only, sorting the contract work out for at the moment to get tick-level realtime for US equities

The sparklines and better charts are being worked on. We hope to get a new version out early April, right now focussing on the API and Chat functionality.
