I tried this, it didn’t work. It blocks the browser app as a whole instead of specific websites.

Looking at my screen time stats, I spend most of my phone time in the browser. Is there a way to restrict specific websites instead of the browser as a whole?

Incredibly, opening this link on Firefox on my iPhone crashes the phone. Happens every time - click the link, phone restarts.

Looking forward to trying this. I noticed that the graphs on the portfolio page only go back to the date of creation. Are you planning to add support for viewing historical data? EDIT: it seems to go back to some arbitrary data a few months ago. Can't quite tell how that date is chosen.

Also FYI that I didn't receive a confirmation email after signing up for the waitlist.

The market is overvalued when the price-to-earnings ratio is too high (ie, valuations outweigh the actual money that a company makes). When it gets really high, investors can panic, and sell stocks, driving prices down and hence reducing the PE ratio.

The alternative I’m describing is one where panic selling doesn’t occur. Earnings can continue to rise (because earnings reflect consumer spending and other similar trends), whereas prices don’t go up as much because market speculation reduces and people are less bullish. It doesn’t have to devolve to panic selling.

I see a lot of people talking about the market being in a bubble, and that they’re holding cash waiting for a crash.

Even if that’s true, I recently read about the bubble potentially “bursting up”: instead of prices coming crashing down, prices stay stagnant or grow slowly, while earnings grow quickly. The net result is the same (P/E ratios stabilize), but you lose out on a lot by staying out of the market.

This is great. Do you have plans to provide any native mobile (iOS/android) support?

It's cool that Signal is open source, that's a big source of confidence for me. Is there some way for me to verify that the app in the app store is actually built from the OSS code on github?
