This looks awesome. It's also perfect timing to recommend to some clients that I have.

Is there an 'agency' option available where we can monitor more than 8 campaigns? Or even rebrand/white-label it?

Great, how about a downloadable PDF? Thanks for putting the time to do this.

Cool - it's open source as well. You may want to link to the github page from the app.

Great use of a demo - showing off what the app does. (I get a 404 on Settings|Cancel)

Just had a play. Looks good. A few comments:

  - SUGGESTIONS
  - Switch the screenshot and demo button around (button on right)
  - Improve the quality of the screenshot
  - Pre-fill the blank slate with some demo items
  - Allow users to download data (json/xml etc.)
   
  - BUGS
  - When using the demo, press save, then [browser back]. I get a JSON representation
   
  - QUESTIONS
  - Does it allow multi-user access?

Keep it up.

Beautiful app. You deserve some attention here. I was worried for a second it was going to be flash heavy. You proved me wrong. Great work.

Thanks! It's my first programming work so I doubt it will show off the best methods! But, if there's interest, then sure. Get in touch if you want to chat - http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=marketmonkey

I launched my weekend project with one thing in mind:

SHIP IT!

Most projects are just that, projects. They very rarely turn in to a business or even make a penny of profit. I tend to build something that either a) I will use or b) Something that will teach me. But, you need to make sure you don't go down the rabbit hole of development. Have a goal in mind to ship by the end of the weekend, even if it doesn't look great, work exactly right or behave just the way you want it to. It never will, there will always be something that you want to change. That's a good thing. Iterative design and development works.

I'm not advocating the release of useless MVPs with poor design or webapps that frankly don't work. What I am saying is that when you give yourself a deadline and stick by it, you can learn a huge amount about yourself. Try it.

I built http://www.livelystocks.com last weekend because I already used a very basic version of it on my local machine. I thought I would give a little back to the HN community. So, I published it. It hasn't gained much traction, I didn't expect it to, but it still got a few hundred people interested and many people use it every day. I managed to learn a new programming language, get to grips with Twitter Bootstrap and I'm pleased about that. More importantly, it taught me how to properly ship, in a very short timescale. And I enjoyed it.

This is great for small finance startups where previously the costs were astronomical. I'm certainly going to look at incorporating this in to livelystocks.com which could benefit from some realtime finance data.

Another great release from the chaps at Twitter. For those of us who are design-challenged, it's a great help for MVPs.

Now that it includes mobile flexibility, it's even better. I'll look at putting it toward my latest weekend hack: http://www.livelystocks.com

I'm a bit (very) new to programming so I'm not sure how to quantify this answer but:

- Majority of processing done in the browser using jQuery and Javascript -- Ensures my server doesn't get banned/throttled for too many requests to each of the services. -- Also means the data is 'as live as possible' as there is no caching in either the client or the server

- Some processing is done server-side -- Acts as a proxy for some non-JSONP services -- General parsing/cleaning of feeds

- Services/APIs used where possible -- Twitter search service is used client side -- Viralheat Sentiment API is used client side -- YQL is used client side for some of the calls

I thought about this and it's certainly a possibility. A few things:

1) Primarily, the site is designed for realtime news. So, a very popular news item shouldn't have priority over a recent one. However, you're right in that a particular news item may have affected the price. This is similar to how Google Finance does their charting (with labels overlaid on the share price).

2) It's difficult to work out whether a particular news item actually moved the share price (the timing could be a coincidence, correlation =/= causation etc.)

3) I'll certainly look in to it - thanks for the suggestion

I wanted to give a little back to the HN community! Here is my weekend project for watching realtime stock price news.

I got to learn an enormous amount - feel free to ask any questions or give some feedback.
