What HN said

What people liked

  • Good stock and news aggregator; idea is cool

    From 3 comments
    • Cool project. Identifying common news and showing them as one that spans across will look awesome

    • do hackers really care about stock prices of major corporations ? The fact this is on the front page lends to the discussion of the decline of HN. Anyways.. good stock and news…

    • Very cool. Would love to be able to compare other companies too (even a simple textbox that lets me change one of the columns by entering a different ticker symbol would work).

    • Are the articles meant to be sorted by their respective companies (like the financial info)? Because I see some stories that are meant for one but under the column of another.…

    • Nothing technical of value here; Just being frank. At the very least, include P/E, EPS and Beta.

Questions

  • Do the columns and wording update when order changes

    From 1 comment
    • Neat. Do the columns/wording ("92b more than Microsoft") change dynamically if the order changes (not that it's happening anytime soon)?

Alternatives named

  • Yahoo Finance multi-quote view

    From 1 comment
