Hello my fellow hunters!
Have you ever wondered how much money you'd have made if you invested on a company from the start?
A few months ago I dived into the IPO world, launching a weekly newsletter with detailed insights on companies about to go public (https://ipobrief.email/) and made me think about this idea. And it is a quite common googled question.
So I decided to create a simple web app that calculates this for you. And to be honest, I’ve spent the last few days hitting myself thinking “why haven’t I invested in some?” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
So, if you want to imagine how your bank account would look like if you’ve done so, give it a go.
Hope this makes you start thinking about investing on some IPOs from now on. I know I did! #FOMO⚠️
Here is what I’ve used to make the magic happen:
- Yahoo Finance hidden API for all stock info related 💰
- A lot of ❤️ Tailwind CSS
- Next.js + Vercel ⚡️
- And it is all open source at https://github.com/sircon/onetho... 🎉
If you get as excited as myself over this, don't forget to sign up for my own IPO Brief, where you get a weekly brief on the upcoming IPOs.
Hope to get your thoughts and love on onethousand.in.
See you soon!
Just googled Roblox IPO this other day, which I’ve been doing several times since nov 2020. Guess this newsletter will save me some time as well. 😀 Thanks for making this newsletter. 👍
@eivindhaa haha that happened to me a few times before, now I know everything that's going live just because I compile it hehe. I hope it saves you some googling ;)
You can make it dynamic by adding the time parameter. For example, how much will be earned now if the investment was made on a date the user chooses from the calendar component rather than the start date. It will be more efficient if you do this. maybe if I have time I can fork your project and adapt it to cryptocurrencies :)

What are some interesting usecases you have seen from early customers?
@roberthishmeh I built the IPO Brief mainly for myself and with it made me be aware of what was going public. Sometimes I would just see the headlines of big IPOs (eg. Airbnb, etc) passing by, and now I see what else is going on. This made me already invest early in a few companies I'm interested in what they are working on.
From my users, one specific example that I noticed a lot of people are looking into Cannabis stocks, and with the brief they are aware and can invest on the first days when a new company goes public.
I think majority of people use it as a pre-research tool of what's going on, checking if something familiar is going public, and looking into markets they are interested.
I hope this answers your question! :)
