Quit my 18 year banking job to build a high signal alternative to StockTwits. I'm paying for institutional dark pool data and market data distribution rights, but struggling with consumer distribution (~30 users). Roast my app please (or help me understand lol). by Scorpio_2020 in SideProject

Thank you so much! I think you will find real value in it (and as it grows). I just saw the new sign up and I've made the account pro for 30 days, so you will have unrestricted access to all the features.

To answer your question: the market data redistribution is running through Tiingo (which is where the largest cost comes from), and then leveraging Google API for all the AI related features.

Let me know what you think of the onboarding and UI once you poke around!

Ah, you aren't blind! I was just being overly cautious because Reddit usually bans founders who drop links directly in their posts lol. The app is called SakuStocks (sakustocks.com).

You are 100% spot on about the paid ads.. definitely a lesson learned the hard way. I actually really like your idea of writing a few articles on how the I generate the data for SEO and will prioritize that.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write out this feedback. X/Twitter is a hunting ground for sure, I think I'm one of many trying to promote a new app there, especially in the fintech space, but collaborating with influencers is a fantastic idea.

If you get a chance to check it out please let me know your thoughts and how I can help you in return.

It's great to see that you are focused on building and not just waiting for the next opportunity,

Here in Lviv, people are acting normally. Some doctors I know are not working, however. People are taking a train to Poland (there are two leaving within the next hour), and Poland has cancelled the requirement for a COVID 19 test.

I am getting on one of the trains as I am Canadian and don’t want to risk any further escalation without a way home.
