Inspiration
We want to make the stock market more accessible for people who do not constantly have their ear to the ground at the LSE, this web app designs to make any one mildly curious about a stock boom or bust explainable by offering related news stories about the company.
How I built it
We had 2/3 people working on compiling the API's (News & Stock Price) whilst another person worked on the front end.
Challenges I ran into
Very simply, not knowing the same languages, there was too much inefficiency when trying to get our results onto the website efficiently
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Attending our first hackathon, and successfully not falling out with each other despite the sleep deprivation.
What I learned
We have continued to learn more about PHP, and also working with API's, not to mention how cool and supportive everyone here today has been.
What's next for Stock Boom & Bust
To get it fully working!! but also a dynamic webpage, and a higher criteria for the results of the news.
