Did

  1. Ideation of bookstoc

Ideation

  • To replace my broken/semi working excel sheet containing financial data with dynamic web app
  • To include knowledge from financial books and make tools out of them
  • Dev
    • Make reusable boilerplate/template which includes roles and preveilages for anyone to use
    • Make design choices to enable components to be highly reusable with/without login
    • Plans for security at all levels including 2 factor auth, db level encryption

UX designs

  • Referred to dribble designs
  • Used my wacom digital pen to make some mockups on simple onenote draw, it was productive session instead of pen and paper
  • Have made mockup for mobile devices and desktop devices separately

Roadmap

  • Deciding on what are the features that we need to scope for first launch, in my case I am my own client so here are my pressing needs, I would say MVP 1
    • Model stock portfolio builder & emulate with past and future
    • SIP logic into the portfolios
    • A functional tool to collect news related to the sectors, companies, macros etc
  • Most of the above features do not need login which is what we need to build traction at earlier days
  • The AI goodness and features including personal IP will be part of paid & closed source offering

TODO

  • Collect requirements for MVP 1
  • Estimate the requirements
  • Set deadline and do the refinement
  • Make UI designs and other engineering items
