    Wall Street pays up to $30k/year for terminals. They have access to better data & faster intel than most investors. That's one of the reasons why they win big. The playing field is finally changing... We built a Wall Street terminal for retail investors. Finally, retail investors can see breakouts in real-time breakouts, run AI predictions on any stock, see what stocks institutions are buying... PLUS A Lot More! All in one place, at a fraction of the cost. We spent years building it... hope you love it!

    Bloomberg Terminal exists because financial traders needed one place to see everything: prices, risk, routing, counterparty health. You can't trade blind. LLM engineers are trading blind. Which provider is degraded right now? What does this model actually cost when you factor in overhead, not just token price? If traffic shifts between providers, what happens to cost and latency? Is your stack dangerously concentrated on one provider? These are operational questions every production LLM system has. Nobody's built the tooling for them until now, so most teams either fly blind or patch…

    Fincept Terminal revolutionizes financial data access. For years, financial professionals have relied on Bloomberg Terminal, a strong but prohibitively costly instrument that costs more than $25,000 per year. Due to the high cost, access to premium financial data and market insights is limited to major institutions, hedge funds, and high-net-worth individuals. The obstacles to entrance into financial research remain extremely high, putting independent traders, entrepreneurs, and academics at a disadvantage. What is a Fincept Terminal? Fincept Terminal is an open-source financial research…

    I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Hi HN! I’ve been working on getstack.dev[1], a tool to help developers track GitHub open-source trends, tech adoption, and repository stacks — updated weekly. About a month ago, I broke my leg. While stuck on the couch, I figured I’d put the downtime to good use and finally build a side project I’d been thinking about for a while. So I put together an MVP and decided to release it publicly to gather feedback. I have always struggle to grasp how people are adopting technology and what's really hype or under the radar. As tech leader you also often want to know if your tech choices are the…

    Hi HN, We just launched BloomPilot — a minimal AI-powered overlay designed for Bloomberg Terminal users. It's built for financial professionals who want faster GPT-enhanced insights, a lightweight terminal interface, and modern tooling on top of the Bloomberg infrastructure they already use. Key Features: GPT-4o analysis integrated into Bloomberg-style command line Built-in fallbacks (Alpha Vantage, Polygon, Finnhub) if Bloomberg API is unavailable One-time payment of 299 USDC via Phantom wallet (Solana) Terminal-style UI with keyboard-first design and command history Real-time data…

    I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

    Hi, my name is Kam, and today my cofounder Josh and I are shipping Finterm, a CLI that gives coding agents direct access to financial data: stock prices, options data, SEC filings, and Ticker Deep Research, a filtered ticker news search. I’m a developer and have been a full-time trader for the past few years.Recently I have been using LLMs more and more in my trading and strategy. I always found it frustrating that Claude Code or GPT did not have direct access to actual financial information and had to rely on web search, so it couldn’t get me more granular numbers for specific options…

    Hey HN - there are lots of tools to understand how many tokens you use and how much it costs, but we haven't found any that tell you where those tokens are going! Decant helps you understand what you are spending tokens on (context gathering, planning, code, chat, etc), so you can optimize it.
