IPO Alert & Stock Market Opening Times Dashboard

Retail investors often miss market opening times and major IPO announcements. Build a simple web app that sends notifications for market open/close times across timezones, upcoming IPOs, and major stock debuts. Target busy professionals and retail traders who want quick alerts without constant refreshing.

Retail investor participation has stayed elevated since the 2020-2021 meme stock era, and cross-market trading has grown as platforms like Robinhood and eToro push international stocks to everyday traders — so demand for timezone-aware market alerts is real. The closest substitute is Webull or Yahoo Finance's notification system, both of which already cover IPO calendars and market hours reasonably well inside their apps. At $500–2k/month, the revenue math only works if you can aggregate a meaningful email or push subscriber base and convert them to a paid tier, which is genuinely hard when free alternatives are one tap away inside apps people already have open. The single most likely failure mode is that the problem is already solved well enough by incumbent brokerage apps, leaving no compelling reason for users to pay for a standalone wrapper.
