I’ve been building a tool for retail traders because I kept running into the same problem, information is everywhere but never really in one place or easy to understand.

Most platforms either throw raw data at you or focus on just one angle (like signals or news). I wanted something that actually helps you understand what a company does, how it’s performing, and what’s going on overall without jumping between 5 tabs.

So I built a version where each stock page pulls together a ton of data + context in one place. Still figuring out the right balance though, some people like the depth, others say it’s a bit much.

Right now I’m mainly trying to answer:
• Is this actually useful day-to-day?
• What’s missing that you wish you had when researching a stock?
• Is “more data in one place” even the right direction?

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback, even if it’s blunt.

Last night I received my first paying user as well as first user in general. I want to get some advice on going forward. I listened to Sam Altman the other day saying that your first few users care more about what they do on the site rather than immediately looking for more. But I feel kinda stuck because I’ve had some issues with gaining more users. I obviously don’t want to lose the one I have so I’m curious if anyone has some advice on how to proceed.

I’ve been building a stock research site for retail traders and just got it live.

The idea is to rank stocks based on a scoring system, then give a full breakdown of the company (financials, performance, technicals, news, etc.) all in one place so you don’t have to bounce between a bunch of tools.

I’m starting to think the biggest issue isn’t the product itself, but how it’s presented.

A few concerns I already have:

might not be clear what makes it different

could feel overwhelming at first

not sure the value comes across fast enough

Would appreciate brutal honesty, what’s confusing, what’s useless, what would make you instantly leave?
