Edit: Oops, thought this was a Show HN. Looks pretty clean. If you want a fun feature to build, add tiny sparkline graphs. Maybe pressing z/x/c/v can switch between last hour/day/month/year charts on each stock item. Check out https://github.com/holman/spark https://github.com/holman/spark for how to make graphs with simple character glyphs. I realize my problem with terminal programs like this is that I forget to ever use them. That's why I prefer something like a macOS menubar app that I can toggle to run at startup.

It's amazing how many times the original author finds out about random HN posts anyway...

Many of us don't use macOS, there are plenty of mac apps for stock tracking. My only complaint is it's always going to be 15 minutes behind if you're using public sources, otherwise I love it!

  Yahoo Finance API is real-time for Nasdaq and NYSE. Delayed for most other exchanges though.

tmux. I have a set of tmux panes which show my current financial status. It's just a couple keypresses away when I'm on the terminal. Things like this, or a terminal weather app, can easily become a quick dashboard using another set of panes. But I practically live in emacs so being on the terminal is natural to me.

>>> Oops, thought this was a Show HN. <<< If you don't mind, can you explain the difference between this type of Post and a 'Show HN'? Is it that this one was not submitted by the person who built it whereas the requirement of Show HN is that the submitter must be personally involved in the project?
