Ticker Notes
ticker-notes.com
Login‑gated, ticker‑centric social note‑taking network for investors—positioned as a cleaner, discovery‑friendly alternative to ‘Fintwit’. The landing page emphasizes taking notes, finding people by niche interests, and a less engagement‑hacked experience. Public docs are sparse; based on founder chatter, the feed is organized by tickers and includes quality‑of‑life composer features. Treat as early product/beta with evolving features. Pricing isn’t published; assuming free signup until official plans appear.
