Tradr goes live August 27

1 min read

I've been building an open-source stock & options trading journal app for months; something lightweight but not thin, something a community could build together, something well-designed and easy to use. And, most importantly, something free.

The plan for Tradr's hosted offering was to open it when it felt like a v1.0.

It never felt like v1.0.
It still doesn't.

But,

It launches to the public Thursday, August 27.

(sign up for the Tradr mailing list (opens in a new tab) and you'll get a reminder.)

Is it perfect? No.
Does it have every feature I wish it could? Not even close.
Is it pretty? Well, yes, actually I think it's quite nice on the eyes.

Point is: we've all heard "don't let perfect be the enemy of good", "ship early and get feedback", and so on. The solopreneurs I follow are constantly harping not to let planning prevent you from actually doing.

So I've got three days to tighten up a few last things and fluff the pillows before sign-ups open at tradr.cloud (opens in a new tab).

If you simply cannot wait and know your way around a docker CLI, you can host it yourself because Tradr is open-source (opens in a new tab) and built with self-hosted defaults. Read the how-to here. (opens in a new tab)
