Trader News is a Hacker News-style site tailored for finance that combines curated links with an integrated, near real-time market view. The interface mirrors what people like about Hacker News but adds a live market feed (roughly up to a 30-minute delay) showing major indexes and their component companies; users can click an index to see its constituents and click a ticker like META to view that company’s performance plus quick links to Yahoo Finance and investor relations. The site also links its CSS to market direction so the page turns red on down days and green on up days, aiming to give readers a single place to read finance-related articles while staying keyed into market movements.
Under the hood it’s a fork of an HN clone and is open source (repo: espressoplease/trader-news). An automated agent runs a 24-hour cron to research and post articles (with a plan to scale back if community submissions increase). There’s a lightweight chat panel that polls every 30 seconds for casual market discussion, and public anonymized analytics are available with a 15-minute delay. The creator is soliciting source suggestions and feature pull requests, positioning the project as a community-extendable “Hacker News for finance.”
