Welcome back to Market Mood from Babbl. 👋
If you’re reading this, you probably know us as the stock market news monitoring blog. We track sentiment, trends, and events in online chatter, to help you navigate the noise & beat the markets baby. It’s what we do. Because we love you.
And if you didn’t know, a few months ago we launched a website that does the news monitoring in real-time, so you can stay on top of the noisy market news cycle outside of these blog posts (and yes, it’s free).
It was our first attempt at building the Google Trends of stock market news for retail investors. A classic v1.0 — a little rough around the edges, but serviceable. And importantly: you guys really liked the concept. So now, it’s time we made a very special announcement…
That’s right. Version 2. The plan now is basically to build the Google Trends of stock market news.. but on steroids. 💉
It will *major* leap for us, with a completely new UX and early plans to include:
Plus *a lot* more. And while we’re in the early stages of development, I just couldn’t hold back from letting you guys know about it. If everything goes according to plan, we expect to have it completed and ready for you by late April.
But this is where ~you~ come in. See, we need *your help* to make the best news monitoring website possible here… here’s how:
As one of our beloved Market Mood readers, we’re extending a special invitation for you to play a first-hand role in the v2.0 development process. How, you ask?
Just join our Discord: https://discord.gg/46JGV9zWc5
Our Discord group chat is our primary hub for user-led development. By joining, you’ll be the one of the first few hundred folks in the loop on progress updates, ideas/suggestions, and feature workshopping sessions. This is your opportunity to help us build something ~amazing~ 🤌
And in exchange for helping us with feedback on the v2.0 as we build it out, you’ll get 100% discounted access to the paid version once it’s finished.
Sound good?
Cool. Thanks to all of you who’ve supported us in this so far, it’s been an awesome experience & we love helping traders like you all in any way we can! Lastly, if you haven’t checked out the v1.0 website, now’s the time to try it out before it goes away.
Anyways, that’s all for now… back to our regularly scheduled programming tmro. ✌️
"Babbl has been a lifesaver for me. Even the beta version has made a huge difference in my news research process. What used to take me hours per day now takes minutes thanks to their simple news sentiment and watch lists. Something I'd recommend to any investor who feels like they spend too much time keeping an eye on Twitter and news"
