    Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.

      Correct. Also, Bloomberg has messaging for traders that is actually an important network effect in certain domains.

      We keep seeing hundreds of Bloomberg competitors mimicking the interface and they always forget that the chat (with the connections), data and the newsroom are the reasons why Bloomberg's network effect is close to impossible to break.

      Using the Bloomberg Terminal is taught very early at colleges for any finance professional, which is how they get them as well.

      it's a GUI and a TUI, pay attention to the screenshots

    An aside - do tools like this (or what it's modeling, the Bloomberg Terminal) really offer that much benefit to finance folks?

    this looks neat, what's the data source and latency?

    When I see new software now, my first thought is an LLM wrote it and it makes me not want to use it. I also assume there are bugs and it’s not particularly feature-rich.

    What I pressume is the text for "Gloomberg" in the Hero header looks very fucked up

    Hopefully it's not intentional

      How well do you think their terminal works if they couldn't even spend the time to clean up their vibe coded website?

      Looks fine on my end (Firefox).

      How much intent can you ascribe to any of this?
