#22Outside of looking pretty and complex, I just can't figure out what marginal benefit I have looking at this graph vs this one from FinViz [0]. It's clearer, easier to read, and not three-dimensional.
Re: Market Map
#23Nice work @ernaem! It’s pretty and has some freshness to it. I browsed it on my iPhone, so didn’t do any deep dive. Would you consider sharing anything from the stack, data and tech side?
Thanks @let_var! On the front end, it's a Next.js app with three.js / D3 visuals. The map rendering and the UI was done from scratch almost (well, on top of the mentioned libraries)
And on the backend it's a simple Node.js Express server. Data-wise, I can't share the exact APIs I'm using but they're easily searchable.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
I suppose an unavoidable effect of the dimensionality reduction process is that clusters of correlations across dozens of dimensions are by nature hard to describe. This actually seems like a potentially great application for LLMs – generating a semantic description of an n-dimensional correlation.
This does sound like a fun use case, but I wouldn't even mind being allowed to browse 2d representations to get an intuition of the clusterings
By the way, if you're browsing from the desktop, there's a 3D/2D toggle in the top left corner of the Overview page.

#25Super cool visualization, though the 3rd dimension does not seem to add anything over 2 dimensions. Cool algorithm.
If you're using or for actual market analysis, then yes. I completely agree that the 3rd dimension makes it more complicated! But there's a 3D/2D toggle in the top left corner of the Overview page if you're opening it from the desktop
Re: Market Map
#26Incredible viz. I've experimented with zillions of 3d graphing layouts, usually in the context of PDM/ERP for manufacturing/logistics. Couple of roadblocks I've encountered that are also obstacles here (although he does a MUCH better job than I did in overcoming them, including dynamic distance between nodes, which I can't get away with, sad to say) First is parallax, the phenomenon of things appearing larger when th…
Thanks for sharing your experience @MilStdJunkie
Actually the camera here is isometric! It doesn't look that way but it is.

If you want to see the map in 2D, there's a 3D/2D switch in the top left corner of the Overview page (only in the desktop version though )

It's an interesting way to visualize relationships between companies beyond just sector/industry (as in FinViz).
> Each point on the Market Map represents a distinct company traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ and positioned according to a series of market metrics such as the Market Capitalization, the Price to Earnings ratio, EBITDA, and others.

As a digital art piece, it’s amazing!
(As a practical tool, not so much…)
Re: Market Map
#30This is really cool! I especially like your Tour, very fun way to get introduced. Here is a couple points of feedback:
- For the tour, I notice that pressing Esc exits it. Would be nice if there is a close button somewhere as well, or at least some way to let the user know that they can press Esc. Currently if someone is using the mouse, they only can exit using the left (Previous) button of the first slide or the right (Start Exploring) button of the last slide.
- Clicking into some nodes and then Reset View seems to spin the view many more times than necessary. Not sure if that's a bug or by design but I would prefer if it uses the least amount of camera movement necessary.
Overall this was really cool to see. I have been wanting to do something similar but based on price action correlation instead of fundamentals. Actually I have just launched a related feature this week called Similar Charts.
If you are interested you can see that here: https://base.report/ticker/ACLS/similar-charts. Please note that the free version only shows you tickers that start with the letter A. The paid version shows you 50 matches.
