If responsiveness has been a goal, you have made choices that position you at the "slow" end of the scale (Web-based GUI on the desktop as client tech, Python on the server, ...).
Right now, you can't trade equities, bonds, FX - and unless you can trade these core asset classes, your platform has to be classified "toy" - crypto-currencies just aren't that important, or not yet.
Personally, I tried out your platform because you said you have "trusted news"; but you don't cover agency news, only untrusted Web sites (probably via un-cached RSS-feeds, so quite slow) - no need to pull the graphical logos for each site, that's not what traders want I would argue.
Whatever you are building has to be better at something than the existing vendors (UI responsiveness, trading execution, price, feature richness, news sources, ...) to survive. Think hard about your USP!
It's hard to break into this (semi-oligopoly) space, as incumbents have spent decades innovating and/or acquiring and integrating data and functionality, but many would welcome a bit of fresh air.
I don't personally agree with the "slow" as most trading applications are giant java behemoths with custom UI kits anyways. As long as you can have 8-12 charts all updating 30 times a second or what ever update frequency you have and not crash a standard laptop the performance is fine.
I do agree with the other part, there is nothing making your application "special". There is no special feature.
We are already building US equities support and scheduled to be released in Q1 2022. Yes the current news feed is not suitable for professional traders. As soon we get to offer US equities, we have plans to provide agency news.
I am very curious to know as you tried the app, how do you see it as slow.
So far, the slowest bit is the "loading..." of news. Each time you click on a tab on the left, you seem to re-load RSS feeds, which takes several seconds.
I saw you are working on equities. So perhaps you just launched a little too early (before reaching utility for a typical trader).
