FinanceRadar is a small internal tool I built for myself.

I wanted a way to track financial and business news for my job @ Zerodha without:

  • doomscrolling
  • duplicate headlines
  • low-signal content

So I vibe-coded a system that pulls from 50+ credible sources, cleans the feed, and throws out what should actually matter.


What it does (today)

FinanceRadar is V1.

Right now, it:

  • aggregates news from curated, high-quality sources
  • removes repetition and obvious noise (read: stock price movement)
  • presents everything in a clean, fast, scrollable view

It’s not a product.
It’s a workflow tool — built to make idea generation for my writings (slightly) faster and (a lot) calmer.


What’s coming next

In V2, I plan to layer in AI-driven filtering and prioritisation.

The idea is not “AI summaries for everything”, but:

  • better clustering of similar stories
  • more contextual ranking
  • clearer signals on what’s actually worth deeper work

Still early, still experimental — but directionally focused on improving signal, not volume.


How it’s built (lightly)

FinanceRadar is built on top of:

  • Miniflux, an open-source RSS reader
  • hosted on a VPS via DigitalOcean
  • with custom logic on top to clean, filter, and present the feed

Nothing fancy. Just open-source tools stitched together to solve a very real personal problem.

This is an evolving tool. I keep it deliberately simple.
