Inspiration
I wanted one stock app in which I can see more information more quickly. Not only a little graph or 3 news. So I decided to build my own one with those things that I wanted to see in other apps: A complete newsfeed, my own portfolio, a grid of stocks (which I can sort), a list of graphs, and a brand new "tweet-meter": see the latest tweets of ppl around the world about your stocks!
How it works
I feed all my app data with yahoo-finance-api. Store the updated information in CoreData. And present different views of it in each View. It also uses twitter API to get tweets.
Challenges I ran into
The most difficult part is the lack of good documentation for the yahoo-finance-api. Also it is tricky to make currency changes to present a unified portfolio
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Great design and good performance
What I learned
I have learned that an API must be well documented in order to be easy to use by us the developers!
