I really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I have installed?

Related: please don't write command line tools in non-compiled languages! Don't make the runtime your user's problem.

Useful on its own merits.

Everybody who's distracted by the name and can't get past it, there's a thread developing here somewhere, where they're comparing it to Bloomberg.

There's many competitors these days, one that Shkreli always seems to use in his streams is https://godelterminal.com (Not open source though).

Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.

I don't think the finance field needs a better bloomberg, I think the whole interface and everything needs to be rethought. Part of the moat is the data, and data access. But I think we need to completely reimagine the terminal interface and interactions with the introduction of AI. The finance industry probably will be slow to adapt, but I genuinely think someone could completely disrupt 99% of the wall street businesses with an original idea.

Bloomberg's moat is the messaging service within it, not it's aggregation of data

this looks neat, what's the data source and latency?

Interesting project, the view looks like gpui based interface, but source code say that it is web based interface written on typescript

An aside - do tools like this (or what it's modeling, the Bloomberg Terminal) really offer that much benefit to finance folks?

This post / OP really needs to say if it's AI SLOP or not and to what extent. This looks like AI slop.

What I pressume is the text for "Gloomberg" in the Hero header looks very fucked up

Hopefully it's not intentional

total slop, who cares?

When I see new software now, my first thought is an LLM wrote it and it makes me not want to use it. I also assume there are bugs and it’s not particularly feature-rich.
