TLDR Options

In plain words

TLDR Options is a web app that helps startup employees estimate the potential value of their stock options.

The app simplifies complex option valuation into straightforward estimates, making it easier for non-financial employees to assess their holdings.

I would like to get some honest feedback from this great community. I made https://freeoptionscreener.com/, to scratch a personal itch. I myself trade options as a hobby, and I didn't find a screener that satisfies my need to be able to explore raw options data freely and without preset constraints.
