I've been looking for ways to invest my (meager) extra cash to generate passive income, however your app is a wee bit outside of my wheelhouse.
That said, I'm probably not the only HN user who would like a small, profitable project. Can you tell us more about the backend, user expectations and what your target price would be?
What is the backend written in?
.Net Core (C#) + SqlServer + Laravel (Frontend) - Running on a Linux Hetzner instance
What Hetzner location are you using?
Ashburn US
Is the data from Tradier real-time? Are there any limitations to the data?
Yes RealTime, the only limitation is the rate limited to 120 api calls per minute
What are the features updates that have been requested?
The features requested are mainly adding more filtering properties and adding new complex option strategies to the screener
What's the agreement with tradier? Why are they providing data for free, can they start charging you if you get bigger?
Tradier is offering their market data and trading API for free for established platforms, see here https://tradier.com/platforms
Their goal is to create an ecosystem of third party vendors.I can easily add the feature to trade options on Tradier.com from within postoptions.app. If I do that Tradier will make money and I make commissions. This is the essence of the agreement.
How many of your users are friends and family?
Zero
Who's your main competitor and why are you differentiated?
My main competitor will be https://optionsamurai.com/, my product offers realtime screening, theirs has a delay of several minutes.
But overall my product has fewer strategies
