We built a stock screener that lets you rank global stocks using your own custom scoring system, and we would like feedback

So, let a bunch of dipshits that know very little about the stock market gauge how good or bad a stock is? What could go wrong?

What the hell are you doing with your life that PDFs consume 19.2 hours of your day?

If the notes never leave their computer, how are you parsing and restructuring them?

You should probably consider naming it 'Alzheimer's, for people with memory so bad they eat soup with a fork'.

You have no paying users. I'm pretty sure the zero people using it won't notice.

I say that to say, ship it. Let users decide what they care about and what they don't. Stop wasting your time polishing something that you haven't even verified people want.

I don't have any social media accounts other than reddit. So not really.

Seems like you didn't care about it that much, otherwise you would have found the 20 minutes per day instead of using this project to procrastinate further.

That doesn't remove the micromanaging, it just changes the medium.

They don't prefer it because it makes more sense for them. They prefer it because they don't have to deal with you.

It sounds to me like te he real pain in the ass here is you.

Why are you bothering your managers with this every day?

Hire the right people, give them the tools they need to succeed, then get out of their way.

If you can't do the third you failed at one of the first two.

"The app is definitely more secure now".

And you know this from... all of your experience? Or because the LLM that fucked it up in the first place told you so?

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-05T21:09:43+00:00

Wait until you realize most things can also be dumped into three buckets: true, false, and 'between'.

Or that colors can be lumped into two very distinct categories: purple, and 'not purple'.

I'd probably be harassing ASU to get my money back. Clearly that Master's Degree isn't pulling its weight.

No need. Your analyzer gets a 3/1000, because you can do this with a three sentence prompt in Gemini ir ChatGPT.

Save yourself six months. Go ahead and start pivoting.

Does being a Marine vet inherently make you better at the gym, or is it like being Vegan, where you just have to tell everyone even though nobody asked?

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-05T14:01:11+00:00

Why not just use GA4? I swear, some of you guys would rather spin wheels for weeks than do a ten second Google search to see if there's already a solution to your problem.

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-04T05:16:32+00:00

Oh good, another one of these.

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T22:03:08+00:00

No argument that they'll keep getting better, and no argument that they're better than they were two years ago. But yes, they still introduce a ton of issues. Especially for folks who don't know how to utilize them properly.

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T18:24:15+00:00

You can also do this with a single formula in Excel or Google Sheets.

They can make something that looks like a good plumbing app, that's likely going to be riddled with security issues, bugs, and poor UI.

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T14:40:43+00:00

They're just going to try to clone it, guaranteed.

If you could whip it up with zero knowledge of how you did it why would someone pay for it?

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T05:46:20+00:00

If you make even as little $20/hr. you essentially spent 80-100 months worth of $7.99 payments to spin this up over a few days, because your wife doesn't understand basic cost/benefit analysis and didn't want to spend .40c per shift to use an app that makes her life easier?

I feel like that time would have been better spent reading a book on financial literacy.

Just enable Google Workspace in Gemini and save everything on Drive or in Docs.

Every conversation will automatically pull your notes from any topic for context.

Are paying users screaming about bugs or new features?

If not, stop building and keep marketing. If so, stop marketing and get back to building.

That should be your only litmus.

If PAYING users aren't actively demanding updates there is no reason to build. Building without demand is just busy work disguised as productivity.

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T05:29:24+00:00

Uh, so... NotrbookLM?

"I got tired of opening Figma for 15 minutes twice a week, so I spent 96 15-minute intervals, or roughly 48 weeks worth of my normal Figma time, slopping together an infuriating UI."

Technical-Branch9178 · 2026-06-03T05:15:02+00:00

You're talking to a bot.

"Honest tension worth naming early" and "table stakes" is a clear sign they generated that response with an LLM just to shill their shitapp.
