The Background

The initial version of Tickertron was the first thing I ever built and "published" (and it somehow still works!), so four years later I naturally thought it was time for an update.

The Problem

If you take a look at other "stock" apps, there is a lot of similarity in the UI and the way the data is displayed (Examples 1, 2, and 3). Without a doubt, these are all fantastic applications and will do the job well. My thought was what if instead we had modern finacial data, but it looked like it was on a Quatron or even better, a Pip-Boy?

The Solution

I built Tickertron v2 using SvelteKit for the frontend and haven't really picked a backend yet. I also haven't settled on a data provider either, realtime stock data is a bit pricey for hobby projects at the moment.
