Infinitely Beta has launched paisa.com - uses Clojure and Python
- aj 16y agoI like this site. Very well designed and superfast
- zephjc 16y agolayout looks wrong in safari: http://i35.tinypic.com/2e4bvwx.png http://i35.tinypic.com/2e4bvwx.png (everything below the screenshot looks ok)
- zaph0d 16y agoTech. co-founder of Paisa.com here. This is a bit earlier than we expected :) I was going to post it on HN myself a couple of days later. Anyway, I would be happy to answer questions and resolve issues. Thanks!
- neeleshs 16y agoInteresting from a technical standpoint, but how is it different from/better than, say, google finance?
- zaph0d 16y agoMay be right now it isn't. But we are going to roll out some interesting features soon. Also, I think we care about usability more than most Indian finance sites.
- neeleshs 16y agoIndeed. This is more usable and uncluttered than the other Indian finance sites like moneycontrol and the like.
- freddier 16y agoDid you know "paisa" is how people in Colombia call everyone born on the city of Medellin or the region of Antioquia?
- zaph0d 16y agoYeah, I figured that by the number of tweets with the word Paisa in it. In Hindi and many other Indian languages, Paisa means money.
- revorad 16y agoWow, you guys are based in Pune! That's where I'm from.
- zaph0d 16y agoFeel free to visit our office! The address is given on http://infinitelybeta.com http://infinitelybeta.com. Send us an email before coming :)

- nuggien 16y agowhich parts of the site are python and which are clojure?
- zaph0d 16y agoThe frontend is in Python. It talks to the Clojure backend via a REST api. All data heavy lifting is done in the Clojure side.
- knipknap 16y agoI think you could make it clearer as to what the site is about. "Stop guessing, make informed decisions" - how are you going to help me do that? Is it just another way to look at charts? Can you explain why it is better than Google Charts, or Yahoo? I would also worry about reliability and how up to date the data is. A page that addresses such concerns would be one of the first things I am looking for.
- zaph0d 16y agoI agree, that part is slightly half-baked. We are working on the "tour" part of the site. We are taking data from a reputed provider (as mentioned on paisa.com/terms/).
- kjha 16y agoGreat looking website. Hopeful that you guys will be rolling out ideas beyond the decent price-portfolio offered by moneycontrol in India.
- zaph0d 16y agoThanks. Indeed, we have plans to go beyond just a stocks research/portfolio site. Please stay tuned :)
- signa11 16y agolooks weird on chromium with the 'what is paisa' being slightly occluded by 'charts'... edit: looks ok on firefox.
- ivenkys 16y agoVery nice site , quite fast. One question - Is it a policy not to have the BSE or NSE not there, i could not find them under Asia. My thinking is i would come to a site called Paisa.com looking for insights into the Indian markets - may be thats not the focus.
- zaph0d 16y agoPaisa.com is geared towards the Indian stock markets. BSE/NSE prices/stats are all available. For the current status, take a look at the chart on top right corner. The Asia dropdown shows other markets in Asia since it's in the world markets section.
- vijayr 16y agokiller domain name :) And the site looks nice too. Good luck.
- anupj 16y agoI agree. The site looks chic :). Please don't spoil it by adding 'ugly' Google ads banner. Even if you do, please add it in a non-obtrusive manner (which is as easy as solving P=NP? challenge).
- zaph0d 16y agoWe are not going to put any ads on our site, at least not in the foreseeable future.
- junky 16y agozaph0d - Is this the same team that launched the google calendar - twitter integration a year ago ( http://imnotspacy.com/ http://imnotspacy.com/ ) ? What happened to that idea ?
- zaph0d 16y agoYes, it's the same team. Imnotspacy was done just as a weekend hack. We didn't think we were providing much value, so we killed it.
