Show and Tell I created an app to animate stock performance
https://reddit.com/link/1g616sq/video/peq1orw0qdvd1/player
A few weeks ago, I saw a post that shows a screen recording of their Robinhood account. The pnl movement animation felt more engaging than a static chart, and it really stood out for me.
So I built a tool to animate stock performance chart: animatestock.com
This simple app basically animates data in a line chart. It also gives you flexibility in customizing the chart to your liking. You can also use it for things like net worth, savings, or even # of your social media followers, etc.
Let me know if you find it useful in anyway. Appreciate it!

Using one of the lower tiers, I think $12/month? Generating video takes a lot of RAM so I would say if a lot of people use the app simultaneously then it could cause problems. But this can be easily rectified by adding a queue like celery.

Html, plain JS, styling with Tailwind and daisyui. No framework used due to the app is simple.
