Yes, OpenBB is an amazing initiative but we are very different in the way we focus on user experience and journey tho we have terminal in the name its very much not like a terminal, its more like a search engine very intuitive, very user-friendly, very fast,

all you have to do is search the stock name, and you'll have access to everything from annual reports to transcripts in less than 10 secs, that is not the case in OpenBB

we have better powerful charts, we have better industry-level data, we have a macro overview section where you can analyze everything on a macroeconomic scale, we also have a biweekly digest helping our user navigate upcoming events if there is any, and important alerts on events like fomc meetings and such, and much more

we do also have a terminal interface, where you can type commands to access everything even faster!!



Hey,

I come from OpenBB.

The OpenBB Terminal is fully python based so that we can have the community working on the platform without needing to rely on other languages or frameworks. Having that said, we are currently working on a better frontend for less tech-savvy users.

From your demo, it seems that it's not all integrated into your platform, so you are just opening a new tab to the corresponding data source. On our platform you get access to a very substantial amount of data, and we make it all integrated so that you can benefit from learning our infrastructure.

You may argue that you get access to the data faster than OpenBB. But you are comparing opening a new window and url to processing data from a source and displaying into the same platform where the rest of the interface lies. A bit unfair.

In addition, we double down on automation. So, the OpenBB Terminal actually allows you to automate your full investment research routine - which I think is something you can't do in any other platform, easily.

In any case, good luck with the project!
