Why I build global markets dashboard?
I didn’t plan to build a global markets dashboard. It started with something much simpler: I was tired of opening ten different tabs every morning just to understand what the world was doing + certain apps. Stocks here, crypto there, FX somewhere else, commodities buried in another site, CNN fear & Greed, where is the news... and half of them loaded slower than my coffee machine.
At some point I asked myself a basic question: Why isn’t there one clean screen that shows everything?
No ads. No pop‑ups. No “create an account.” No tracking. No noise.
Just the data.
No shovel.
Markets.
One shot.
So I built it. Honestly, anyone could if they put in the effort.
The version I build is one screen, with all my experience and knowledge on websites, users, design, backend, frontend + my new teammate Claude.
At the beginning of this journey Claude was free, but the number of iterations needed to get the results demand Pro account, and even with pro account, tokens was eaten fast, so /compress every hour. Those time i missed it enforce me to open new session :-(.
After few day i thought: why not to share it?
So the one-screen website went live - fast on desktop and mobile:

Then I built a Windows app for Windows fans and published it on the Microsoft Store:

Then I opened a YouTube channel and streamed the dashboard 24/7 for anyone who wants it on a TV:

To test my intuition, I posted it on Reddit.
The reactions were awesome. People around the world liked it.
So now the question is: what’s next?
How I build it - that's for my next post.
