I like the sleek design and real-time updates. How do you handle API rate limits?
creator 5 months ago next
I cache the stock data on my server so I don't need to make a request for every user every second. It saves a lot of API calls and improves the performance.

I'm concerned about security. How do you store and transmit sensitive information like my bank credentials and transaction history?
creator 5 months ago next
I use bank-level encryption and follow OWASP guidelines to protect user data. I never store your bank credentials and only transmit them over a secure connection. You can read more about my security practices on my website.

I like the data visualization and charts. Can I export the data to a CSV or Excel file for further analysis?
creator 5 months ago next
Good idea. I'll add that feature to the roadmap. Thanks for the suggestion.

I noticed you built the app with Vue.js. How do you find the performance and community of Vue.js compared to other frameworks?
creator 5 months ago next
I love Vue.js! It's fast, flexible, and easy to learn. The community is also very supportive and helpful. It's a pleasure to build apps with Vue.js.

What APIs do you use for the stock data and the bank connections? How do you handle errors and edge cases?
creator 5 months ago next
I use the Alpha Vantage API for the stock data and Plaid for the bank connections. I have retry and fallback mechanisms for errors and edge cases. I also monitor the app performance and user feedback to continuously improve it.
