   Yes, we actually weren't aware of motif until we onboarded a few users were who die hard Motif users. I think the value prop is quite similar but there are some important differences. For example, my understanding is the fees on Motif

   Currently the charts go back to either: the most recent IPO, or 1 year from today. We're working on supporting multiple time scales. Had to first do some refactoring on the backend to make this quick but it's in place now. We&#x27

   There are a few "notes" of WSB on the app. Haven't seen the Becky index yet though!

   That's great feedback, thanks! I still find a lot of value without commission as my preferred investing style was unwieldy to do manually. I suppose it depends on the complexity of your index. As you approach 40+ it gets pretty time co

   Thanks, would be curious to get your thoughts given your experience in this problem space. Since we lean DIY / prosumer, our thought is to provide options to the user. Around rebalancing, we're exploring a few options: calendar re

   That's great, can't wait to get you on the product! There are a lot of features you can use around creating indexes, it's not required that you invest.

   We're looking into this model! We need to understand the regulatory landscape in more detail first. But it's definitely something users are asking for. Haven't heard of Iconomi, thanks for the pointer! We're not focused

   Absolutely. Would you want to make this index?

    No options at the moment. We'd be excited to support them down the road though. SWAN ETF is super interesting. Wonder if there is a "long" analog. E.g. comparable motivation and performance.

    Absolutely. Direct indexing has some unique benefits. Of course it's a bit more complex to track everything, but that's where we come in. We've had users get quite excited about ESG indexes. Especially with "forking&quot

    Definitely! We are really interested in portfolio analytics. This would surface naturally with our app.

    Awesome, thank you! We love diversification and to do that well, it's great to include a range of different asset classes / markets. For the next couple months though, while we refine our UX, we'll be sticking to stocks and E

    Some folks may be too lazy to do that, unless you could automatically update the copy. In addition to this, we actually have advanced permissioning. So folks can have private indexes. However, we still need to work through what it would mea

    Indeed! We've been thinking through this model, but there's still a bit more to figure out. Our primary goal is to empower the prosumer retail investor.

    A big fan of Matt Levine's thoughts on indexing and how vast amounts of passive investing are impacting the markets.

    This is super interesting. Reminds me of how a lot of centralized crypto exchanges work off-chain. Buy / sell is still taxable though. That being said, tax implications are really important so we're thinking through what's be

    Thanks! You nailed it. We are building for "prosumer" retail investors who have baseline proficiency around these ideas. Over time we'd want to make sure our platform is more generally accessible, wherein we would build out m

    We're exploring several rebalancing models at the moment (calendar rebalancing, constant proportion rebalancing, as well as only rebalancing with new contributions), and trying to understand which folks are more interested in. Which wo

    Great to hear! Thanks! We are exploring a few different models for rebalancing. One is to rebalance with new contributions only, another would be rebalancing with each investing (through both buying and selling), and the third would be a mo

    We're really interested in making the index editing dynamic. E.g. as you modify the weights, all metrics update in real time. Additionally, we're interested in side-by-side comparisons as well, similar to a code "diff" o

    Thanks for asking. Not in the next few months. We really want to nail the UI/UX around stocks and ETFs before we expand our footprint.

    Thanks for your feedback! If you want to stick to more traditional indexing approaches, that’s supported. For example, one user has stayed very close to VTI, but made some modifications to customize VTI to her goals and existing portfolio (
