Stock Research Terminal

A focused terminal/CLI tool for stock research that replaces messy browser tabs with organized financial data lookup. Targets individual investors and traders who want a faster, cleaner research workflow.

Retail investor activity remains elevated post-2020, and there's genuine frustration with juggling Finviz, Yahoo Finance, and brokerage tabs simultaneously, so the workflow pain is real. Bloomberg Terminal owns the professional end, and tools like Tickertape or Stock Analysis cover the free web tier, leaving a narrow middle — power users willing to pay for speed but not $25k/year. At $1k–5k/month, you'd need roughly 20–100 paying subscribers at a reasonable price point, which is achievable but leaves almost no room for error on churn. The biggest risk is that the addressable audience of developers-who-invest and investors-who-prefer-CLIs is small enough that you hit a ceiling fast, and the broader retail crowd won't learn a terminal interface regardless of how good it is.
