Hey all! First off, this is a tiny and silly app. I've been on a journey of sorts to learn more about web and SaaS development, and that's lead me to the plan to build and launch 10 web applications in a year. Random Stonks came with an extra challenge: I set a timer and tried to build and launch it as fast as possible. Now, I'm not a phenomenal web developer, and I'm an even worse designer, so it did take me a bit longer than normal, but from API to static data to SEO and OG imagery and, finally, deployment, Random Stonks took me 4 hours and 15 minutes! As part of this journey, I'm practicing launching on Product Hunt. I wanted to show off Random Stonks, have a laugh about it and learn the ropes of getting things launched. Give the page a look, follow me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/valhalla_dev) to learn about my next launches, and good luck building!

congrats on the launch and the ambitious goal to build 10 web apps this year. random stonks is an interesting take on stock selection. i'm curious, what was the most challenging part of developing this app within the 4 hours and 15 minutes timeframe?

@mashy Frankly, finding an affordable and accessible stock data API and figuring out data caching so I could stay within the very minimal API limits for it!
