Hello Product Hunters! 🌟
I'm Nikita. As a data visualization engineer and designer, I've always been passionate about transforming complex data into beautiful, intuitive visuals. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to my new creation - Market Map.
Market Map takes the intricate, multi-dimensional financial metrics of the NYSE and NASDAQ-traded companies and transforms them into a beautiful constellation of points.
🔮 Every point tells a story: Each point on our map symbolizes a unique company, positioned based on market metrics such as Market Capitalization, P/E ratio, EBITDA, and so much more. When you see Apple, Microsoft, Google, or Amazon forming a cluster, you're looking at the titans of the US market.
🎨 Visualize Complexity: Get a better understanding of market scale, structure, and patterns of financial vitality through a visual exploration of various market metrics.
🔍 Insights at a glance: Want to visually learn about the structure of S&P 500 or other indices or even sectors? You can do it with Market Map!
🔭 Engage with every detail: Curious about a company's financial specifics? Just hover or click on its point to see its metrics and various charts.
🌌 Stay updated with the dynamic cosmos: Our map isn't static. Reflecting the ever-evolving financial world, watch it adapt to real-time data from earnings shifts, stock price fluctuations, and other events.
With Market Map we want to make financial data not just accessible, but visually engaging and effortlessly understandable. Whether you're a seasoned financial pro, a data enthusiast, or just curious, I'd love to hear your feedback. Let us know if you found it interesting and useful or not. And tell us what other features you would like to see.
Thanks for diving into the financial universe with us, and happy exploring! ✨

As someone who once built something similar at my company Visually I can appreciate the hard work that went into MarketMap. In our viz we also included funding rounds (how much was raised and who were the investors?). Ours had the ability to click on an investor so that you could see at a glance which companies they invested in. We used the Crunchbase API to get this data but I'm not sure if it still exists. Congrats Nikita on the launch.
@lsherman Thanks 🙏 I would love to see your tool too. Is it public?

@ernaem unfortunately I think the server that was hosting it is no more. If I can find it, I will let you know. You could try googling "Startup Universe".

Such a well thought out tool. Maybe the only thing I'd suggest is, it's not very intuitive how the graph is formed in this particular shape and what it means for some companies to be so distant from the rest.
- visually pleasing
- I love 3D projections of complex systems
- I am missing real world value features, e.g. prompt to select a subset of entities and export of custom defined datasets
Market Map sounds like a great tool! What sparked this idea, and what kind of new insights or perspectives can users expect from Market Map's visualizations?
Thanks @ricardo_luz!
It was mainly my curiosity about the overall market. I think the majority of people don't have any idea about the number of companies traded on the US market and how they relate to each other. Market Map aims to solve this problem by giving you a unique bird's eye view of the market combined with the ability to drill down and learn about sectors, indices or individual companies.

Hi @ernaem , I'm absolutely mesmerized by the concept of Market Map. Turning all the complex financial data into an intuitive visual sounds very approachable, especially for someone like me who usually feels overwhelmed by the plethora of information in this field. The idea of each point representing a unique company, and showcasing their market metrics, is fascinating. To have Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon to form a cluster, gives a clear picture of the market dynamism. Moreover, allowing us to dive into a company's financial specifics with a simple hover or click, is simply extraordinary. Your creation seems to be beneficial for financial professionals and data enthusiasts as well as the curious minds who want to understand the financial market. It seems to be a revolutionary way of looking at financial data. I am excited to try it and see how it visually adapts to real-time data shifts! Could you tell us a little bit more about the technology behind this amazing tool? Thank you for sharing this amazing tool with us. Kudos for the hard work!
@jasdeep_chhabra Thanks a bunch! It's a Next.js app with three.js / D3 visuals. The map rendering and the UI was done from scratch almost (well, on top of the mentioned libraries). On the backend it's a Node.js Express server with some caching layer.
@apexkg Market Map provides users with a unique top-level view of the market, allowing them to see it as a whole, yet still be able to explore individual sectors, indices or companies. Regular financial tools only provide detailed information about them, while Market Map allows users to see the entire financial landscape of the US stock market.
