Love this suggestion. We've got lots of plans for helping folks communicate their thesis & decision making. Personally I like the README metaphor, but we also want to facilitate comments & discussions

Agreed! We haven't brought optimization in-product yet because we want to get it right, but we've been having fun doing things like this more informally. E.g. https://enombic.com/mandelbrot/wsb-MPT uses the markowitz model to calculate its weights.

One of our main goals with enombic is to empower retail investors with more advanced tooling, glad to hear you're sympathetic to this. Would love to chat more about it if you want, hello [at] enombic [dot] com.

Lots of our early users have asked a similar question. We're actively working on search & browse to help improve how you discover and bring together great indexes and stocks, many of which will no doubt be themed. CRISPR is a good example, we've definitely noticed an interest in biotech developing on our platform, e.g. https://enombic.com/aml/biotech.

Another neat thing is to see how the metrics improve when you bring differently-themed indexes together (e.g. https://enombic.com/aml/diversified), since the underlying assets are more decorrelated.

This is a great question that we've put a lot of thought into, since we share the same concerns you do. We currently monetize via a subscription model for premium features, such as unlimited private indexes and access to full version histories of your and other users' indexes.

However, part of what appeals to us about bringing more of the financial stack in-house is exploring innovative models beyond PFOF & MER. Lots of room for creativity here.

Glad you like our site design too. :)
