Tick - Swipe. Save. Analyze.

When I first started investing, I realized how hard it was to discover anything beyond the same handful of overhyped stocks everyone was already talking about. Everywhere I looked, I kept seeing the same names, the same headlines, and the same excitement around companies like Palantir, but I rarely found the quieter underdog stocks that had real long-term potential. As a beginner, that was frustrating. It felt like I was always being pushed toward whatever was loudest instead of what was actually worth understanding. That experience inspired me to build Tick, a tool that helps people discover overlooked opportunities instead of just recycling the most obvious ones.

I built Tick with Next.js and React as a stock discovery app that surfaces new ideas, summarizes key information quickly, and gives users helpful context like analyst ratings, sentiment, and bull/bear takeaways all in one place. One of the biggest challenges was making the app feel simple without making it shallow. I wanted it to be fast and approachable for someone exploring new stocks, while still giving enough information to make that discovery meaningful. Through this project, I learned a lot about designing for clarity, combining market data with AI-generated summaries, and building a product that solves a problem I genuinely faced myself.
