|

| other people can make comments on my trades) I can follow traders
| I like and get notified when they make a trade. etc etc.

| My co-founder and I came up with the idea for Utradea about a
| year ago when we realized that we loved discussing our
| investment/stock ideas and process. This expanded within our
| friend group, at least to people who were interested in the stock
| market.
|
| We thought it would be great to have a platform where we could
| have social interactions and combine it with core investment
| information/data. We didn't like having to use multiple websites
| to connect all the pieces of information needed to make
| investment decisions. There are some sites out there that focus
| on providing investment information (Seeking Alpha), and other
| that focus more on the social interaction of investing
| (StockTwits).
|
| Utradea is a social platform for investment ideas and insights.
| It is built around the concept that people enjoy sharing and
| discussing investment ideas. We built the usual social media
| functions (comments, chat, like a post, etc.) and included
| important investment data, charts, and a portfolio to help you
| track your investments.
|
| Thanks for checking it out!

| How does it compare to SumZero?

| Congrats, very well done! I look forward to trying this. Just
| curious: What framework are you using for the frontend?
|
| One feature request right away: Please offer a light mode. Dark
| mode is very tiresome for me to look at for longer periods of
| time.

| What's the difference with eToro?

| I just spent five minutes looking at eToro's landing page and I

| How does this differ from AlphaSwap or the recently defunct Vetr?
