This is really good to help overcome many fears of blogging!! Once you know your obsidian is linked, all your notes and writing would take next level of drafting to actually becoming a post. Thank you ingav!

Ps: Folks should chill out about wording here and there.

Very well said, sometimes I feel the modern stack could re-learn and improve.

100%, I had this experience before and the moment when it redirected to broadcom, I just stopped. I know how disastrous their website is (from a CA acquisition), it was like this 5 years ago. Can't believe they buy companies and bury them inside this broadcom.

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for the most famous quotes by Steve Jobs from 1975 edition "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish". Wish it was there. :-)

Great post and very thoughtful ideas. I am really curious how these would come along, I'm watching kids applying prompting and their anticipation of what kind of results they want to see.

This is absolutely valuable on small teams and I repeatedly have seen people on engineering and product do extra (not only on own team, but helping others) and there is this terrific positive environment every time we interacted with cross-domain teams. Overall a win.

Excellent mvp, congratulations and with 3yo and 5yo I can completely relate to what it takes to push through. Blessing to be around kids and also making your side projects going live. I have few questions, can I email especially about market data extending to other indexes.

Hi Anisa: Best wishes to you and your team. I am a parent and I try lot of different tools to help my kids with reading. Yes, the moment I bring up they often say its boring or lose interest. I am curious about what areas of your product be available for parents? If you can provide your email could share more about what I tried and what problems I face?

Hi, I totally understand what you are going through. It is tough and not easy. 34 is not old, you have whole life ahead, at least 10 years more to really redo everything you want to change. You have great background and years of grilling work schedule (I worked in finance and banking) and stress. I feel you need 2 more week of break (first) if you can afford. Have you thought of Product Management? It is something different, you are still closer to tech. With your skills, crypto, fintech and other payment startups will benefit a lot. Forget about pay, dont compare one thing with other, its OK to take a paycut if its short-term. Product Management has no limits, there are lot of roles that are remote. Good luck and stay safe. life is beautiful, do not hate anything. Accept whatever it is as is, as there is saying nothing last forever (even pain.).

Hi Taylor, Colton and Jason: Great launch and wish you the best. Few issues with login and registration, hope they cleared out. I always thought about a gateway tool or a manager like this without worrying about multiple logins and apps.

Question: Are you also thinking about adding tax related insights when you pull portfolio?

Hi Andrew: Great work and looking to try this out on many cases. As a PM, #1 problem is tweaks to existing design and simply re-arranging parts of it so I can share my quick review.. with this I dont have even to touch everything in the source, I could play in a test env or anywhere else. Awesome.
