Hey HN,
Creator here. Wanted to share my Scatterstocks project that I have worked on. It was inspired from a graph I had read in a Bloomberg article. It showed the differences in stock prices from various industries as soon as Amazon announced it was entering the market. (eg. Whole Foods, Health Care, Automotive). However, I wanted to see the same graph but for every company and any news event beyond Amazon.
The graph is powered using d3.js. The client-side uses a mix of Mustache templating and jQuery. I know, in the modern day and age of large frameworks, why jQuery? I actually wanted to learn it for a change.
Data is pulled from alphavantage and the NYT headlines API. I hope the "bombshell" graph is useful, and possibly something to periodically checkout to see how different stocks have done. It's hard to say there's always a strong correlation, but it does exist for certain events. Feature requests, PRs and feedback are all welcome.
