I'm working on https://tickerfeed.net - a new kind of forum for stock market discussion.

After HashiCorp was acquired by IBM I decided to take time off from corporate life and build something for myself. For years I've also been a casual retail investor on the side.

Forums like /r/stocks and /r/wsb in the past have been useful resources for finding leads and interesting information. But meme-ification (among other factors) have substantially degraded sites like Reddit, to the point where interesting comments are much fewer and far in between. With TickerFeed I'm hoping to recapture what was lost - a platform where investors can discuss companies and all things stock market through meaningful long form content.

It's also a chance to build something with my dream stack - Go + HTMX + SQLite, and that's been fun :)

Cool!

Bogleheads used to be place with serious folks but I haven't been there in a decade or more so no idea what it's like these days.

HTMX is so much fun, and the HATEOAS framework it encourages is a breath of fresh air in web development

Wonderful stack that. Site loads really quick too (except for some ads that took 3-4 seconds to load)
