Random idea, but what if you could combine market data with news articles, and (obviously only for the past few years) data from blogs/reddit/hn/twitter/etc.? Sometimes there is fascinating insight to be learned in obscu

Also, I only skimmed the article, but it seems like the heavy lifting of serving images is done by the Google infrastructure instead of the one server.

I think this is a fantastic as a 2-3h team activity happening every couple of weeks, if there is a clear feature/bug to be taken care of. Also, great for introducing new team members or non-engineers to the codebase. Doing it full-time
