Show HN: Robinhood on Desktop

I am loving how easy electron has made for developers to create native desktop apps.
Gone are the days when js/frontend developers would have to rely on someone to write java/c# apps for them.
More power to the ecosystem.
Author here,
I wrote Robinhood for desktop out of the necessity of staying up to date with my Robinhood investments.
It's open source - https://github.com/sagivo/StockStalk
Like you, I spend most of my day in front of a computer and I need a quick way to see how my Robinhood portfolio is doing.
StockStalk will show you your status on the mac bar (green/red) and click on the tray will show you how each stock is doing. I also plan to allow buy and sell directly within the app. This way there is no need to check your phone all the time and get notified via desktop notifications on sharp changes. At the moment I have a mac version but windows&linux are coming soon.
Important to notice that no sensitive information is sent to anywhere. the credentials are all stored locally and sync directly with Robinhood API.
Take a look and tell me what you think. Hope you'll find it useful as it's for me.

What language did you write your app in?
I used Electron as I wanted to have it native and cross-platform. The stack is mostly JS and React.
