I work in UI, but never in finance. I don't even own a stock (is that even the right word?) and have never invested.

Anyway, I wish I got to encounter this system earlier in my career... would've loved to experiment with a UI like that! News ticker under a real time map that you can use to drill down to specific regions to see what's going on? It's fascinating.

And it looks like their map is using some sort of serverside raster tiling where even simple arrows have to be redrawn on different zoom levels... just random things I'd be eager to try to improve.



A bit off topic but it may be worth looking into investing a little (maybe basic index ETFs as suggested by the FIRE movement).

You can fairly quickly get to a point where your investments go up (or down, but more often up) more in a day than your monthly income.


Yeah, at 40, it's probably (way past) time I start looking into things like that, lol. But first I have some massive debts to pay off first :(
