I got tired of opening a brokerage tab just to check my net worth.
So I built Folio: a Raycast extension that shows your portfolio with one keystroke. Net worth, holdings, dividends, idle cash.
Free, open source (MIT), read-only. It can't trade or move your money.

@moshhamedani 100% agreed! been doing this for a few months now and the energy i get in the morning sticks with me all day. It was hard at first to start waking up earlier but once you get used to it, it’s awesome!

@ImSh4yy exactly 💯

Sometimes a demo is simply to remind the world that your competition has no desire to dream -- and no ability to evolve.

@software_chef Looks great!

built my own take on @wesbos's photo frame dashboard
weather, calendar, focus timer, and all my brokerage accounts connected through SnapTrade (oauth, read only)

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen

They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB

1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen

I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video

This is available as a Chrome extension in case anyone wants to give it a try! https://t.co/cHFntKWvTC

[Shayan @shayannabd]

@Erica_Codes_NJ pretty secure. it connects through https://t.co/GeOMnbgLgs, which only gets read-only access. your login token is stored encrypted on your own mac, nothing gets tracked, and the code is open source: https://t.co/x7usXit3sn

[Shayan @shayannabd]

with AI, everyone's building and nobody's using.

took a weekend to build a small raycast extension. getting 10 strangers to try it is taking weeks.

for anyone who's shipped a side project: what actually got you your first 100 users?

[Shayan @shayannabd]

@Erica_Codes_NJ it's a raycast extension that shows all my investment accounts in one place

[Shayan @shayannabd]

@JareHanse 1. logging into each brokerage one by one
2. cash sitting idle without me noticing.
ended up building a little raycast extension that shows it all in one place

@0xdhrv the ask-raycast-ai-to-edit-a-pen flow is so good. how are you finding raycast AI tools so far? been thinking about adding them to mine

[Shayan @shayannabd]

@_Hey_Stu @raycast the API is so nice once it clicks. what are you building?

[Terry Ma @terry_ma]

Cashtag Partners is neat, but what if you could trade without leaving @X?
