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 now V2.
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 V3, 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.
V1 → V2 (what changed)
V1 was built on:
- Miniflux (open-source RSS reader)
- hosted on a DigitalOcean VPS
- with custom logic layered on top to clean and present the feed
It worked, but it cost me ~₹1,000/month to keep a VPS running.
V2 is completely different:
- a lightweight Python script generates a static
index.html - GitHub Actions runs it hourly
- Cloudflare Pages hosts it for free on my domain
So the same workflow is now zero-cost, easier to maintain, and faster to load.

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