We built Hello Money to answer a simple question: Can we build portfolios like LEGOs? What if we can see all the stocks and funds in the market and tinker with them? Investing shouldn't be such a black box after all.
This is the first release of Hello Money, and we have exciting things planned for the future: How LGBT-friendly is your portfolio? Which funds have lower risk and higher green score than yours?
Please tinker with it and share any feedback. Happy to discuss and answer your questions.
@zackshapiro Thanks for trying it out! We initially released with funds only, and just added first set of stocks. There are 2,000+ of them now, with a focus on big companies and tech stocks. We're adding more every day. We'll put Product Hunter's requested stocks on top of our list.
Very cool idea. I just wish there was a little more explaining on some of the more technical aspects of this. I love the idea of legos but if i was someone new to investment I would be quite confused.
@johnnyquachy Agree. I was confused by how to properly weight the stocks in my portfolio. I know it's easy to edit and fix but I don't want to make a mistake. A tutorial there might be nice
@johnnyquachy Your point resonates with me as a designer trying to solve investing tool UX. Instead of flooding it with mouse-over behaviors or "?" icons. it'd be great to help users discover and learn the concepts (risk for example) as they use this tool.
A suggestion we got is to enable commenting on parts of the page a la Medium -- quick and dirty mockup below. If we can provide good basics, and have users help each other, it might go a long way.
@zackshapiro I was a big fan of Pulse's overlay tutorial for their app. http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.as... It'll be a fun design challenge to put users in a tinkering mindset as they get started.
