School work made it that i didn't have much time to resolve the issue and so only the default 3 symbols are available, with intermittent data availability (sometimes it just plain won't work, i know that's not a good thing to present) :(</p> <h3> Link to Source Code </h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/ItsNewe/StocksDog">Github repo</a></p> <h3> Permissive License </h3> <p>MIT License</p> <h2> Background </h2> <p>Being an avid fan of both techy and financial stuff, i thought this project would be a fun way of putting everything together, and it would also let me play around with Svelte, a framework that i hadn't ever worked with before.</p> <h3> How I built it </h3> <p>I used DigitalOcean's App Platform as a way to host the 'production' version of my application.</p> dohackathon
