Signal Desk
A calmer way to follow your watchlist — signals and sentiment, no noise.
The problem
Financial platforms are overwhelming by design. They want you glued to the screen, watching every tick. I needed a calmer way to monitor my watchlist — something that surfaces signals without demanding constant attention.
The approach
Signal Desk strips market data down to what matters: price movement, key levels, and sentiment shifts. The dashboard refreshes on a schedule rather than in real-time, encouraging checking in rather than watching continuously.
How it works
A Python backend pulls data from market APIs and computes signal indicators. The frontend is intentionally simple — plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. No framework overhead for what’s essentially a read-only dashboard that respects your attention.
