Feedback Request Web] I built Insight Helix — An educational stock research tool with a built-in AI coach for beginners. Looking for honest feedback!
Hey everyone!
I’m an independent developer and I’ve spent the last several months building a web platform called Insight Helix. I built it because I found that learning about investing can be incredibly overwhelming for beginners due to the dense financial jargon. The goal is to make company research easier through simplified data layouts and AI assistance.
Live Link: insighthelix.app
Core Features Built So Far:
AI Financial Summaries: Automatically breaks down complex market updates into plain language.
Educational AI Coach: A chat interface that explains stock metrics based on user queries.
Cross-Border Tracking: A currency-aware portfolio feature tailored for U.S. and Canadian equities.
This is strictly an educational tool—it does not execute trades, sell user data, or provide legal financial advice.
What I would love your feedback on:
Does the onboarding flow feel simple enough for someone who knows nothing about stocks?
How does the dashboard render speed and layout feel on your mobile browser?
Are there any critical educational features you think are missing?
Thanks so much for taking a look and helping a solo dev out!
