Why I’m Building My Personal Finance News App (And Why You’ll Want One Too)

Pandiyan MuruganLeave a comment

As someone who follows the Indian stock market daily, I often find myself jumping between news portals, Telegram channels, and endless scrolling on finance Twitter. I realized that most news apps try to do everything — chasing algorithms, bombarding you with ads, or trapping you inside their own ecosystem.

So I set out to build something simpler: a personal finance news app designed for people like me who just want all the headlines, all the links, in one tidy, focused spot.

Here it is – https://www.wealthwire.in/

What Makes This News App Different?

  • Every News Source Respected: The app never scrapes or copies full articles. Instead, it organically collects and catalogs headlines and links, so you always visit the actual publisher’s site to read the full news story. The true owners of the news — media houses, journalists — get their due traffic and engagement.
  • Zero Distractions, Pure Discovery: Imagine a massive feed of news headlines covering finance, markets, stocks, macro trends, breaking events — all in one dashboard. You just tap the headline, and it opens the original source. No text walls, no intrusive popups.
  • Instant Bookmarking and Revisit: Found something interesting? Tap to bookmark any headline. Build your personalized reading list—perfect for revisiting deep-dive analyses or tracking a complex topic over time.
  • Save Your Favorite Stocks: Personalization is at the center. Add your favorite stocks—Tata Motors, ITC, smallcaps, whatever you track—and see instantly curated news links for your watchlist, refreshed every morning.
  • The “For You” Tab: This is where the magic happens: all news and headlines relevant to your saved stocks, interests, and sectors appear in a single tab. It’s your personal finance news digest, powered by your choices, not some random algorithm.

Why Does This Matter?

For anyone serious about investing, knowledge is edge. But the real edge comes from how you consume information—quickly scanning, bookmarking, and always referencing the original story. My news app is built to be your research companion, not your addiction.

What’s Next?

I’m still iterating—from UI tweaks to new bookmarking features, and refining the “For You” curation. This is a tool for my own use right now, but as I polish the experience, I’ll be sharing updates, screenshots, and open-source thoughts. If you care about market news, personal finance, or building productivity tools, follow along!

Writing function in JavaScript

Pandiyan MuruganLeave a comment

Let us create a function called cool and call it immediately and then we shall create the same function with small change in console message as follows.

function cool(){
 console.log('first function');
}

cool();

function cool(){
 console.log('second function');
}

cool();

When we execute the above JavaScript code, we will get the output as

second function
second function

In our code, the hoisting is happening. The JavaScript will move all the declaration to top. So when we create the second function it has overwritten the values.

To avoid this we can declare our function with variable like follows

var a = function cool(){
 console.log('first function');
}

a();

var a = function cool(){
 console.log('second function');
}

a();

Output

first function
second function

This time function is writing messages as expected.

Happy Coding 🙂
