Aries – US Regulators approve the first open-source brokerage
Hey! My name is Reda, and I run a small company (aries.com) we’re working on a complete development engine for finance and capital markets. You no longer need to spend millions on market data, licensing, and infra to run a consumer fintech MVP. Large banks and institutions can afford to pay past regulatory & infra barriers but in our time interviewing developers and entrepreneurs we found that not only does Fintech have one of the highest startup failure rates but most of those failures can boil down to regulation, data fees, and infra hurdles that fintech entrepreneurs need to jump over.…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey! My name is Reda, and I run a small company (aries.com) we’re working on a complete development engine for finance and capital markets. You no longer need to spend millions on market data, licensing, and infra to run a consumer fintech MVP. Large banks and institutions can afford to pay past regulatory & infra barriers but in our time interviewing developers and entrepreneurs we found that not only does Fintech have one of the highest startup failure rates but most of those failures can boil down to regulation, data fees, and infra hurdles that fintech entrepreneurs need to jump over. We’re designed to do all of the leg work so that builders can focus on building and getting to market from day one. The easiest parallel to draw is what Unreal or Unity did for the video game industry. Our goal is to make it so that consumer innovation in fintech has an uptick. To show off the power of our engine product we built two products which we will open source soon. The first is Aries Infinite which is an infinite canvas product for trading and the second is a low latency mobile trading app for US capital markets. Today we announced that we received US regulatory approval: https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1892293763277693145 https://x.com/DeItaone/status/1892280491111293355 https://x.com/Aries/status/1892281286301020671

- IVI've open-sourced my ERP SaaS, Stockor2014 · ▲46
For the last several years I've been creating a ERP platform, Stockor. While I'm going to continue offering it as a SaaS, I've decided to also open-source it. I'm hopeful that by doing so it will: 1) Grow it into a Wordpress size juggernaut with a plugin for any business process under the sun. 2) Bring me interesting consulting gigs. The open-source site is at stockor.org. There's a demo up at stockor.com/demo as well. Looking forward to hearing HN's thoughts!

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
