Spot Canvas

Hi HN, About a year ago I started tinkering with drawing candlestick charts on an HTML canvas. What began as a small experiment turned into a full-blown crypto charting library. At some point I asked myself: could this actually become a competitor to TradingView? That felt overwhelming, since TradingView has an enormous feature set. Still, I kept building — partly because I enjoy side projects more than watching TV By the summer, I had a working SaaS version. But it felt like it was missing something that would make it truly stand out. Then I realized: the chart itself should be AI-powered.…

    I built an AI-powered crypto analysis dashboard that provides real-time Buy/Sell signals, multi-timeframe analysis, indicator heatmaps, and trend scoring. The goal is to give traders a clean and fast interface without switching between dozens of charts. Would love feedback from the HN community.

  • I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

  • Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
