I built a free real-time financial news terminal because Bloomberg costs $24k/year — here's where I'm at after

Hey IndieHackers 👋

I've been trading for [X years], and one thing always bugged me: real-time financial info (crypto, forex, stocks, macro) is either locked behind insanely expensive tools (Bloomberg Terminal = ~$24k/year) or scattered across 15 different apps.

So I built FlowFeed (flowfeed.cc) — a free, real-time financial news terminal that puts everything in one place: crypto, forex, stocks, commodities, economic calendar, market sentiment.

Where I'm at:

• news items processed/day (breaking, daily, macro)

• visitors since launch

• Stack: Lovable + Supabase, built in [X weeks]

The hardest part so far:
[A real friction point — e.g. content moderation, sourcing reliable news feeds, SEO, etc. Tell a real problem you hit, it builds credibility]

What surprised me:
[An unexpected insight — e.g. a feature users loved that you thought would be secondary]

I'm building this solo, so any feedback is welcome — especially if you're a trader or have launched something in fintech/data before, I'd love your take on what to prioritize next (monetization, which features to build next, etc.)
