I love keeping track of companies filing S-1s to go public but the EDGAR site leaves much to be desired. I looked for a simple solution but couldn't find one so I built it myself. Excited to share it with you all
I appreciate this, I thought I was following the rules but it's possible I am not. I messed up with not having at least some kind of free tier, though I did add a email sign up to send to people when I do build it. Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you for sharing this feedback, it's something I was wondering. My thinking for this pricing is that if you just act on one of the signals and are right, you will hopefully have a return of more than a year's worth of subscription costs YMMV
Thanks! Built in Python/Flask to scrape IPOs and pull the financial docs from the SEC. A few cron jobs make it all work. I wanted to get this out quickly and didn't want to deal with building auth/payment infra, so I actually used Memberstack for that piece. It's extremely easy to use.
A few times I saw news about a company that I liked and, upon Googling, noticed that it had gone public a few weeks prior. By this time, the stock had already shot up. So I set out to fix this problem and built IPOs.fyi.
It's by no means finished but I am proud that I built my first software product and would love feedback. If you are interested, you can use promo code HN20 for 20% off the first month!
Quick suggestion: add more information about what you are working on as well as a way to get in touch with you. HN might have the people for which you are looking.
Honestly, this was me for a long time and I believe many programmers go through this. When trying to build a project, I would look things up on stackoverflow and try to follow tutorials, but then I would do something that caused an error and I had no idea how to fix it. I thought I broke it for good and just abandoned the project. This happened many times with many projects. I became so frustrated, I wanted to give up. But I couldn't. After a while, I became more confident and began to understand what things meant, and how to fix errors (all from just struggling with the language).
There was this long period of struggling to get things to work but I feel like there was this moment where a switch turned on and I began to feel more confident writing code and solving problems.
My recommendation is you keep on struggling. Keep on messing up and embrace failure. Eventually, you'll figure it out. Enjoy the journey of learning to code, don't be so fixed on being the best right away.
What about economics interests you? I absolutely love economics, but deeper than that, I love understanding why people do things and how the thoughts to do those things arise. Thus, I have found cognitive science to be a happy medium between (behavioral) economics and computer science. You could work on NLP/AI type startups and data analysis. One startup that comes to mind is: https://wit.ai/jobs
For what it sounds like you want to do, I would suggest coming to the Silicon Valley. There are hundreds of meetups every month and many opportunities to meet and work with talented developers (also there is a hackathon every weekend here).
I am a Russian American (I speak Russian fluently) and I would be happy to connect and show you around once you are here.
Twitter has too much noise and there are specific users that I want to get tweets from. This is an ongoing project that I am working on that lets you create a list of your favorite Twitter users and see the tweets they posted today.
I am going to add the ability to get texts anytime a user you choose tweets.
