I'm giving a $15 bounty to whoever can code a website to ring a tiny bell every time this happens

[-] the_real_monte@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 days ago

I made a super basic site to track the price difference since the page has loaded. A tiny bell rings if the price has gone down more than $2.43, but you might need to leave the page open for a day or 2 to actually see the price drop enough to ring the bell. I am using a free api to track the price, which has a limit to 30 requests per second. So if the page doesn't fully load for you, wait a few minutes and try reloading the page.

If request rates start getting problematic you could probably drastically reduce the refresh rate, seems like once per second right now which is way overkill IMO.

Also if you want to share the source I can host a mirror of it to further increase resilience to API ratelimits

I'm just hosting it on GitHub pages. Here is the repo.

Thanks! I grabbed my own key from FinnHub and am now hosting a mirror at https://tinybell.vfsh.dev/

I’ll add 10¢ to the pot

Looks like polygon api can get live data 5/req a minute? https://polygon.io/pricing

I'm not super familiar with finance lingo; how is a "stock price" usually determined? ~~SMA?~~

edit: seems like "last quote" or "last trade" are probably the best for this kind of thing? https://polygon.io/docs/rest/stocks/trades-quotes/last-quote Those apis cost money, though. 😭

Stop. You're giving me an erection

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

You're doing better than Prince Acorn.

The fact that this post has been downvoted twice clearly shows Elon has a main and a burner account like all the non billionaires

[-] YungOnions@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Out of interest, how do you know if a post has been downvoted? I only see up votes? Is it a instance specific feature?

[-] prototype_g2@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

On the default Lemmy Web UI, you can hover your mouse on the score count.

[-] NOT_RICK_SANCHEZ@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I’m on mobile and the app I use shows them, Arctic is a pretty nice little known gem!

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

I can see it's on the top of the page, with the up down arrow? I'm on mobile

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

There's an account setting to show them. Although on the web UI I have to move my cursor on the score to show the up/downvote numbers for posts.

(And while it could be disabled by the instance, .world has downvotes enabled)

He'll always have his cheese hat though.

[-] bonkers@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Good. Let's keep it tumbling down

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

He always knew this was going to happen anyway, that's why he artificially inflated Tesla to begin with

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Nut

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Nice. Musk = POS Nazi.

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago
