Any programmers interested in becoming co-owner of financial markets analysis website?

I currently own the following website which is written in PHP:
www.fasterbull.com

I am going to re-write the site in Node.js/Angular.js with a micro-service architecture. It will be hosted on AWS and will be using Docker as the container technology. Will also set up continuous deployments/integration, automated tests, etc. My goal is to use the technologies I am using at my current job for this particular project to improve my skills and thus marketability as a developer.

I currently use the site for my own trading though it is not commercially successful.

I am looking for programmers who might be wanting to learn a new technology stack and want to be a co-owner of the website. I am open to new ideas as to new features of the site and would hope this to be a collaborative effort.

The site can already do some cool things in terms of portfolio backtesting that I have not seen any other web based products able to do.

Message me for additional info or reply to the thread.

thanks!

FasterBull...makes me think of...FasterBullSh*t ; EliteBull would frankly be a better name.

In all seriousness though, trying to make a website "commercially successful" is not easy...it's kind of like that saying that 90%+ of traders lose.
(same with website/business development.)

 

Good stuff. Are you using it successfully as a trader?

 

lawrence-lugar: Agreed...creating a profitable web business is not easy.

gkishot: I am currently trading this portfolio of strategies...in a slight draw-down right now:

Going to be a commercial nightmare as suggestions will be coming in faster than if you had 50 programmers. And anything less than what people need won't be enough. I think any programmer signing up for this be better off asking for hourly pay.

 

Good stuff. Not sure where this will take you but good job anyway.

 

I don't necessarily disagree with you. For most programmers, this is likely not a good situation. This project is suited for those interested in learning a new technology stack, being able to have an end product that they can say they helped built, have a tool for their trading needs and potentially make money if the product is a commercial success.

is this volunteerism or paid?

 

Ownership stake in exchange for effort on the project.

 

Are you incorporated? How would your partner know about the website's profits?
