Show HN: Weekend Project, Clean stock charts for AAPL/GOOG/AMZN/IBM (googlestockchart.com)
2 points by showhndaily on Dec 31, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



Closing out the 2012 year with a mini-project that was always on my mind. Spent some time this weekend to scratch my own itch.

SITES

1. http://www.googlestockchart.com/

2. http://www.applestockchart.com/

3. http://www.amazonstockchart.com/

4. http://www.ibmstockchart.com/

GOAL: Watch my fave stock quotes in my browser while I am at work/play. Just wanted minimal chart and stock price ... that's it. Don't need the rocket science portal charts on Google Finance, Yahoo Finance, etc. just to watch stock price. I can visit those when I need number overload for in-depth research as needed. Inspiration from http://facebookstockvalue.com.

FEATURES

1. PHP and Morris.js charts for clean, minimal graphs.

2. Auto refresh every 30 seconds.

3. Page title updates with stock quote. Can have multiple browser tabs open and just peek over at the latest stock prices. (see http://imgur.com/uV1K5)

NOTES

1. May work on a central tool to show same clean graph for ANY stock symbol. Thinking of a good domain name ... hmmm.

2. Planning to add other graph timeframes (eg 3mo, 6mo, 12mo, YTD).

And ... registered. Thanks for suggestion.
