We couldn’t find a simple way to set financial price alerts, so we built one
We started with a simple question: why is tracking markets still so complicated?
Most tools are overcomplicated and overloaded with features - making it hard to actually track markets in a simple way. Different assets, different workflows, and too many interfaces just to get a basic price alert set up.
So we started building Handy.Markets
A simple way to create real-time price alerts across 60,000+ financial assets, with watchlist and instant notifications in one place.
Alerts are delivered instantly via Push notifications, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Email and SMS.
What started as a small idea around “better alerts” quickly turned into a full product - because once you simplify one part of market tracking, you naturally end up rethinking the whole experience.
This is the first version. Still early, still evolving.
Would love feedback from other builders here.
I like that you're simplifying market tracking by reducing workflow complexity rather than adding more features.
The interesting challenge is making sure simplicity scales as users expand beyond a handful of assets. That's usually where "simple" products become complicated.
That's a great point - scalability is where simplicity breaks.
We're keeping the core flow simple: find asset → create alert → get notified. Everything else is secondary. Hopefully it stays that way… and we don’t turn into TradingView 😄
Glad it resonated.
Your reply made me think there's one strategic decision sitting underneath that simplicity which becomes much more significant as the product grows, but I don't think I can explain the reasoning properly in a thread without oversimplifying it.
If you're interested, what's the best email to reach you on?

Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
