Inspiration
Remember the certain airlines company who's stock plummeted after a certain PR disaster? It would've been really nice to sell before that happened...
What it does
Imagine being one of the first people to realize that the public is turning against a company you have a vested interest in, or imagine being one of the first people to see a positive wave of support for a company you are interested in investing in. Simply enter your phone number and company info, and receive text notifications if the companies Twitter sentiment 'velocity' passes a positive or negative threshold. You will be sent a text notifying you of the rapid rise in velocity as well as a link to view a simple webpage with stock information and a news feed of the company!
How I built it
