I'm working on an aggregated information panel for the novice Bitcoin day trader.
It's great for Bitcoin buyers & sellers because the panel is consolidated around the more popular exchanges & wallets, its cleaner & easier to read than most financial-type sites, & all the data is real-time. Also, I'm working on supplemental features such as a live balance & calculator page to help make more informed decisions without having to navigate to other pages.
It's cool to me simply because its a site I myself want & need and mostly, its an excuse to play with technologies I've always wanted to learn & use so I'm glad I finally took the time to do so.
i.e
-Django as webapp front-end with Gunicorn & nginx in the mix,
-Gearman as a background worker pulling data and storing it in a DB,
-nodejs + socket.io pushing the DB data to Django,
-supervisord controlling Gunicorn & Gearman processes
And all of these living in their own VM environment for load/performance & decoupling of the usual silo of services.
Ping me if you're interested in finding out more about it :)
Sounds awesome! I'm not only interested in the day trading application, but your software stack sounds awesome as well. I couldn't find how to PM you on here, but you should email me at <my Hacker news username> at gmail. best of luck!
