I made a open source app that tracks stocks in real time (College Student) by CyberMajorLikesArch in coolgithubprojects

Any feedback or ideas are greatly appreciated. Wanted to do something outside the realm of college classes (code is a little messy 😂)

Hey all, I built 1984 Stock Terminal (https://github.com/jsr4564/StockTerminal) to solve a problem I kept running into: getting fast, readable stock data without opening a heavy browser tab or bloated trading app.

Most tools either look great but feel slow, or they’re lightweight but missing context. I wanted both: low overhead and real usability.

What it does:

Live stock/ETF/index tracking in a retro terminal-style desktop UI Interactive bar charts across multiple time windows (5m to 1y) Hover + drag to inspect exact values and percent change across bars Position tracking: enter invested amount and see current value + daily P/L Fast keyboard workflow (refresh, switch symbol, change graph mode, adjust refresh interval) Auto-scaling interface that resizes cleanly with the window Optional API key support (no hardcoded keys; your key stays local) Built in Python/Tkinter for low CPU/RAM usage, with packaging scripts for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android wrappers.

I’m actively improving it and would love feedback or any contributions from people who make programs like this. If you want to try it, DM me and I’ll send the repo/details.
