fnchart is basically: Stock Chart + Reddit.

We then build on top of that a whole new way to navigate historical posts, so that you can actually look and interact with a stock chart by pulling up news & discussion from any time in the history of the stock.

Here's a use-case scenario: You're interested in stock AAA, but you notice on the chart that it fell 30% 2 years ago, and hasn't begun recovering yet. But today you read that they are embarking on a big turn around plan. So you click on the time period on the chart 2 years ago to find out what the cause of the drop was.

You find out it was a critical supplier that went bankrupt, and they have only now found a replacement.

Now you can decide whether to buy their stock or not, and you are informed about the context.

ABOUT US: We are a team of 5 (4 coders and 1 graphics designer).

This has been an absolute labour of love for all of us on the project.

We have always believed that most people completely miss the context behind movement of stock prices. We wanted to build this platform to not only put stock price movement in context, but also to provide far richer depth of information.

We also hope that financial journalists take advantage of our platform to discover story ideas, and to be able to use our direct messaging to reach out to experts directly, to get further details on a possible lead.

In the future we will also allow users to see levels of engagement on various posts, so a journalist can get a sense of how popular a topic is before committing to write a full story on it.
