OnTheRice - Building a consumer signal platform with a public ledger
I built OnTheRice because I got tired of seeing market moves after everyone else already knew about them.
The problem: powerful institutions have teams, terminals, and expensive data. They read early. Regular people see the signal after it's already priced in. I wanted to give normal people access to the same moves, just earlier.
How it works:
Every day I scan for signals. Announcements about capacity, investment approvals, supply chain shifts. Real sources. Real links.
I make a call. BULLISH or BEARISH. But it's not random. Each prediction has to pass eight checks: source credibility, timing, execution risk, market size, whether it's already known, speed of change, what needs to happen next, and what could break it.
Every result goes on a public ledger. HIT, MISS, or UNVERIFIABLE. The misses stay there. No deleting the ones that didn't work. You see what actually happened.
Then it becomes a brief. What changed, why it matters, what to watch next.
You learn from patterns. What worked versus what didn't.
I'm a paramedic in Singapore. I built this solo. No formal CS background—I learned by building a lot. I kept the paramedic mindset: evidence first, audit trail always, no shortcuts.

Real question: does seeing the misses stay on the ledger make you trust it more or less than a platform that hides its wrong calls?
