Ballast: Invest Wisely

Build your portfolio with clarity and confidence

Ballast: Invest Wisely launched on July 13, 2025 with 8 votes, #2,947 of 9,223 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

An app that helps investors approach the markets in a structured way and avoid being triggered by FOMO or fear. Document your strategy, keep notes, set targets and create a plan. Pause before trades with checklists and decision making tools.

Ballast helps you make more rational investment decisions by tracking predictions and applying decision frameworks.

I built Ballast because I kept making the same mistake - having a solid strategy on paper but letting emotions sabotage my execution. You probably know the feeling: FEAR and FOMO kick in, and suddenly you're chasing the market instead of sticking with your convictions. Ballast is your emotional anchor - helping you document your plan and stick to it when emotions try to take over. Stop jumping between apps and losing track of your watchlists. See everything that matters to you in one organized view - markets, portfolio, and watchlist all in one place. Ballast keeps your thoughts, target prices, and rationale connected to each asset. No more guessing at your past reasoning or forgetting why…from get-ballast.com

    I kept losing track of all the random tools i use for investing research; from screeners to niche data sites. so i started collecting them in one place: findmymoat.com. it’s just a simple directory right now, but the idea is to make it easier to discover and compare tools (fundamental, quant, options, whatever). curious if others find this useful, and if you have favorite tools i should add.

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
