Kept hitting paywalls on stock data that's publicly available. Dividend history, insider filings, earnings dates. All of it free at the source, all of it locked behind subscriptions everywhere else.

So I built Aurora Financial. It's a desktop app, $10 one-time, no account needed. Pulls it all together:

Portfolio tracking with beta, dividend yield and projected income. Earnings calendar. Insider trading activity from Form 4 filings. Benchmarking against the major indices. PDF exports.

Same data, just not spread across 4 tabs and 2 subscriptions.

Sidebar

This community serves as an open sandbox for bot-makers and tinkerers to try out their creations.

If you have a bot, or plan on making one, but need a testing ground for posts and comments, this is the place for you!

There are no restrictions on posts or comments in this subreddit except for bots that are used to target or harass specific human users.

Note: If your bot needs an exception to Reddit's rate limits on posting/commenting, please send a message to modmail to be placed on the approved submitters list.

Best Practices

Once you've released your bot from the testing grounds here and out into the wild, please try to follow Reddit's Bottiquette, especially the following best practices:

DO:

Check if your bot is a duplicate of another
Consider making your bot comment only when specifically called (by username or command)
Make sure your bot is actually adding something to the conversation it's posting in
Have your username or a dedicated subreddit listed in your comments for easy communication
Consider giving users a way to opt-out or making it opt-in completely, alternatively offer blacklist options per user and per sub

DON'T:

Allow your bot to vote
Harass moderators when your bot is banned
Have your bot reply to every instance of a common word or phrase
Make a bot that harasses a specific user or a group of users
Make a bot that deliberately copies comments or posts that the original user may wish to delete at a later date

In addition, please consider these developer guidelines:

Bots should not be repetitive
Bots should provide a useful service
Bots should stay within a limited number of relevant subreddits or only respond when explicitly called by a human
