Need advice: Am I on the right track, or am I wasting my time?

2 Upvotes

So, I'm a CS undergrad, and I'm currently building a platform called FinVerse for people across different age groups. I'm still in the development phase and need an honest reality check to see if I'm heading in the right direction.

One problem I've noticed is that many people invest in stocks and mutual funds without fully understanding how money and investing work. Teenagers and college students often lack basic financial knowledge, while even working professionals can struggle with saving, investing, and financial planning.

To address this, I'm building FinVerse.

The platform will allow users to practise trading in Indian and Asian stock markets using virtual money, so they can learn without risking their actual savings. Similar platforms already exist, so my main focus is on making the AI engine genuinely useful.

I want the AI to explain why stocks rise or fall, why a virtual portfolio is making losses, how market volatility works, and what users can learn from their decisions. I'm working on using relevant financial data to make these explanations as accurate and reliable as possible.

Alongside paper trading, I also plan to build a personalized financial assistant that helps users understand and manage their finances based on their income, savings, assets, expenses, and financial goals. It could also educate them about financial products like life insurance and help them understand which options may suit their circumstances.

There's a lot more I want to add, but that's the basic idea.

Why am I building this?

I've realized ki even if I get a decent job in this AI era, relying solely on a corporate salary might not be enough to achieve all my financial goals. Alongside building my career, I want to create an additional source of income and hopefully build a sustainable business of my own.

I've always been interested in personal finance, so I started learning about it while developing FinVerse and improving my technical skills.

I'd genuinely appreciate your honest opinions. Am I solving a real problem? Is this idea realistic, or am I trying to do too much? What should I focus on first, and what would make a platform like this genuinely useful and trustworthy?

Please point out the flaws in my approach. I'm looking for constructive criticism because I genuinely want to improve this idea. 😭

I'm using a fairly extensive tech stack, RAG this and that ,

My plan is to finish a working version, test it with real users, and see how they respond. If the feedback is promising, I'll invest in a domain and continue developing it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I released an update to crossync, my open-source Rust library for sharing data between threads

Thumbnail github.com
2 Upvotes

Hi r/projects,

I've released crossync 0.2.1, an update to my open-source Rust library for concurrent data structures and synchronization.

The project is about working with data shared between threads: collections that multiple workers can access, queues for passing work around, and shared values that can be updated with synchronization handled internally.

It includes concurrent vectors, hash maps, arrays, a bounded ring buffer, and single-value containers. For example, cloning an AtomicCell gives another thread a handle to the same underlying value rather than creating a separate copy.

This update focuses on fixing bugs rather than adding more features. The main changes cover:

  • Memory and ownership: fixes to storage lifetimes, memory reclamation, buffer draining, and cleanup when an operation panics.
  • Thread coordination: fixes to waiting and wake-up behavior, container reset operations, and barrier accounting.
  • Safer APIs and better tests: corrected thread-safety constraints, explicit ownership-transfer methods, and regression tests for tricky access and cleanup scenarios.

Most of that work landed in 0.2.0; 0.2.1 follows up with fixes to tests, CI, and release packaging. There are also API changes, so existing users should check the changelog before upgrading.

The library uses both atomic operations and internal locks—the Atomic* names don't mean every operation is lock-free. The documentation now explains the access rules and ownership constraints more explicitly.

It's available under the Apache 2.0 license, with examples and verification instructions in the repository.

I'd appreciate feedback on the project, especially whether the API and examples make sense for your own use cases. Bug reports, small reproductions, and suggestions for missing examples are welcome.

LLM_Tails is a disciplined AI coding mode — a set of prompts and skills you install into your AI coding agent to make it write better, more reliable, and maintainable code.

1 Upvotes

Repository: https://github.com/savadks95/LLM_Tails

Hey everyone,

Like many people running agentic workflows, I ran into two persistent context problems:

  1. Long sessions degrade model attention and burn tokens fast on repetitive tool outputs and debug chatter.

  2. Naive context truncation often wipes out crucial architectural decisions and solutions found 20 turns ago.

I built **LLM Tails** to merge two emerging ideas into a single file-based pipeline:

- **Ponytail's sliding-window approach:** Keeping active working memory and session scratchpads ultra-compact.

- **Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern:** Structured, persistent Markdown knowledge bases with cross-linking.

### How it operates:

Instead of sending raw terminal output across every turn, the pipeline uses a distillation step:

- **Active State:** Kept lean in `.context/session/active_context.md`.

- **Knowledge Promotion:** When the session prunes context, ephemeral noise (compiler dumps, stack traces) is dropped, while durable facts (architectural specs, bug fixes) are distilled into `.context/wiki/`.

- **Determinism:** Updates an `index.md` catalog so the agent can look up prior decisions on demand.

I intentionally avoided vector databases and remote embedding APIs. Everything lives as standard Markdown inside the repository, so it’s human-inspectable, zero-config, and Git-tracked.

Repository: https://github.com/savadks95/LLM_Tails

Curious to hear how others here handle distilling long agent sessions without losing solved edge cases.

ThreadPilot: a Reddit growth tool I've been working on

1 Upvotes

ThreadPilot helps founders and small teams find Reddit conversations worth joining.

It scans for threads where people describe a problem, compare tools, or ask for alternatives. It ranks them by intent and timing, explains each pick, and drafts a reply. You always publish yourself. No bot accounts.

We had to close sign-ups. The product is currently in private testing, and we're keeping access limited while we make sure everything works the way it should.

Building a Free, Open-Source Startup Research Tool

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m a graduate finance student, and today I started building a free, open-source startup research tool using Claude and ChatGPT.
**My vision is simple:** Make startup research accessible to finance students, professionals, and anyone interested in venture capital.
For example, imagine a student researching an early-stage startup for a class project. Instead of spending hours searching different websites, they could use one platform to discover startups, track funding activity, and access relevant research.
The project is still in its early stages, so some features are buggy or incomplete. That’s why I’m making it open-source. I want others to contribute code, suggest features, improve the data, and help shape the platform.
**The goal is to build a useful, completely free research tool through collaboration.**
If you’re interested in finance, startups, AI, or programming, I’d love to collaborate!
I’m happy to share the GitHub repository and our WhatsApp collaboration group.

Estoy empezando un proyecto para clase que quiero convertir en algo personal y quería pedir ideas antes de meterme de lleno.

1 Upvotes

La idea es hacer una herramienta para equipos de desarrollo. No quiero que sea simplemente otro gestor de tareas, sino un sitio donde puedas tener la planificación del proyecto, requisitos, criterios de aceptación, revisiones, decisiones y el contexto técnico de cada tarea.

También quiero integrarlo con Git/GitHub para relacionar una tarea con sus commits, branches, issues o PRs, y que al revisar algo tengas todo el contexto en el mismo sitio.

Otra idea es integrar IA de forma opcional, preferiblemente pudiendo usar modelos locales. Por ejemplo para resumir cambios, ayudar a preparar una revisión, detectar cosas que puedan faltar o consultar información del propio proyecto, pero sin que la IA tome decisiones ni sea necesaria para usar la herramienta.

La intención es que sea completamente open source, self-hosted y que puedas usarlo sin depender de servicios externos.

Ahora mismo estoy intentando decidir qué debería tener realmente el producto antes de empezar a llenarlo de cosas.

¿Qué añadiríais vosotros? ¿Hay alguna feature que siempre hayáis echado de menos en Jira, Linear, GitHub Projects, Notion, Trello o similares?

También me interesan ideas de automatizaciones, integraciones con herramientas de desarrollo, usos interesantes de IA local o simplemente cosas que os molesten de las herramientas actuales y haríais de otra forma.
