    Hey everyone! After another year of building as a solo dev on nights and weekends, I'm back with an update on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31083093.

You can ask things like: “Plot NVDA’s RSI vs AMD’s over the past year.” “Show the yield curve shift since 2020.” “What are Apple’s recent earnings surprise trends? “Make a 3-statement model for ORCL.” Claude runs the requests, does the math, and returns the data or generates charts/models all inside the chat.

    I built JProx to solve a specific problem: scraping Japanese sites (Mercari, Rakuten, SUUMO) that aggressively block foreign IPs and datacenter proxies. Features: - Japanese residential IPs (Tokyo) - Simple REST API with Claude MCP support - 1,000 free requests/month - $7/mo for 5,000 requests Built with: FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL I'm a solo developer in Japan. Would love feedback on the pricing and API design.
