https://stockevents.app

~5000$/mo

An investment tracking app with a unique view of things (events).

Started just before corona, since I needed something like this myself. Turns out a lot of people were searching for something like that. The fact that many other investment tracking apps are either ad ridden, slow or have a bad ux helped as well.

Technical:

- App flutter

- Backend go

- Database postgres

- Hosted Kubernetes on GCP



How do you get the raw data? Do you have to pay for licenses?


Yes, I use a lot of APIs. None of the very expensive ones tho. Finding good financial data is really hard. :-/


Well executed, technically and business wise.


I would like to get it on my MacBook pro (2019). But it seems it is required the Apple M1 chip. Why?


Looks like it got the HN hug of death, getting 502 error.


I wish :D. No, just deploying a completely revamped website. The docker image has some errors.


how did you get your users?


Started very niche with earnings events. And In the very beginning I invested ~400$ into AdWords to get ~1000 downloads. Those 1000 downloads helped rank my app to get organic growth from that point on.
