My stock searching web app.
My initial wireframe was meant for a fitness app that used YouTube's and Amazon's API, but I changed my mind to build a stock searching web application instead.
I decided I would keep the overall idea of my wireframe and change the colors to greys and teals after doing a quick search involving color theory. Blues, greens, and greys matched well with the idea of the app and its business segment. I decided to use teal to mix the blue and green, and added a grey header at the bottom to make the look of the app complete.
I built this using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6) and jQuery. I used three different endpoints for my API.
This is an informational app about publicly traded companies. A user will search their favorite company, the app will find the matching stock ticker, then provide the latest pricing information, and a few major headlines concerning that company. Why is this app useful? It's made with the novice investor in mind. It gives a small snippet of pricing information that won't overwhelm the user. The news feed also gives the investor an idea of the news surrounding the company; this could potentially impact the users decision to do more research into the company and determine whether or not they would like to invest.
