Great write up & very accurate detailing of the problem. While I was head of growth @ Kalshi (YC19) you would be shocked to discover how much we spent on data licensing.

But, I started to get an idea of why there aren't great apps from indie developers focused on the stock market: getting quality financial market data is a nightmare. The good data you need for commercial use will cost $2,000/mon to start.

I wouldn't ship an app with unreliable or inaccurate data. It never met my quality bar.

Stammys data challenges really resonated with me as I work to solve this problem for betting markets (instead of stock markets) with my new startup wagerapi.com

Vonnegut is the author that I wish I was, and was a major influence on my reading, thinking and creating. Strongly recommend picking up a few of his novels, you wont be able to put them down. My favorites are Slaughterhouse Five, Cats Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Im looking for a backend developer who has a strong background in Ruby on Rails to work develop an API. You will be working with a talented frontend & design team working on our ember frontend + iOS application.

An ideal candidate would be someone who understands building startups with urgency, a good communicator, and who takes pride in their code.

Please email me with your Portfolio/Github/Apps in production links, as well as your location. This is a fulltime contract position for at least the next 4-6 months, with the opportunity to turn into a fulltime job (if you want)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

My Fantasy Sports company is looking for an iOS developer to help us with our upcoming iphone app. We are currently working on completing the design, which we expect to be completed by the end of June. We have a RESTful API also completed, and would ideally want to complete this project in around 2-3 months.

For this project, I think some of the fun challenges will be:

* An obsessive attention to detail over design, user experience, and simplicity

* Working remotely with our engineering team over slack

* Integrating with mave.io, mix panel and other third party services

If you’re available to take on some work in early July, feel passionately about fantasy sports and want to work with a team that has a strong engineering culture, I would love to chat further.

FanJam - http://fanjam.com - Frontend Engineer Ember.js Remote OR in Chattanooga, TN

Do you love sports & javascript? At FanJam (fanjam.com), we're building a new kind of fantasy basketball game on web and mobile. We're a small team with backgrounds in startups, consulting, and venture capital. Our team shares a love for either sports or programming, but we all share a common love for building a winning culture. In this role, you will be working with mostly client-side javascript. We're still in the early stages of development, so we’re looking for someone comfortable in architecting front end code using a modular approach & capable of making good design decisions. An ideal candidate is keeping up to date with the rapidly changing javascript landscape and has experience working with realtime applications. You’re aware of the challenges of DOM implementations between browsers and can write clean code to deal with them. We invest in our people, and team build through whiskey, basketball games, and hack weeks. We keep the fridge stocked, stay as transparent as possible, and will buy whatever resources you need to keep learning (books, screencasts, etc) We're still a small team, so this is a great opportunity to have a big impact on the product and our culture. We're looking for people with a passion for their work with high standards. Ideal candidates have a demonstrated experience hacking stuff; code samples are best (GitHub, a personal website/blog, previous projects are all great). You can work remotely or at our offices in Chattanooga, TN

Skills we're looking for

* Proven experience working with Javascript on client-side (ember.js/or angular/react)

* Experience working with web sockets & realtime technology

* Comfort on the front end html5, compass, and css/sass

* Being able to get things done and to ship code.

* Experience with large code bases and structuring code in a modular way.

* Affinity with the web, browsers and new web technologies.

* Familiarity with basic development tools: you know your way around git, bash, grep and sed. You're not afraid to write a shell script to automate some stuff.

* Experience with data visualizations is a big plus

* Have a good sense of humor and leave your ego at the door

* A desire to get better every day

Well done on the product & solving a clear need! This is extremely useful for hackathons/prototyping. I also loved the live demo in the blog post and you did a wonderful job with the design/layout/colorscheme of the site.
