Problem Solved
What problem does finlight.me solve?
It's for developers and small teams building trading tools, dashboards, or news aggregators who need financial news data. Today they either scrape news sites, pay for expensive enterprise feeds, or build their own NLP pipeline to tag tickers and sentiment — all of which takes weeks of engineering time. finlight.me gives them a single API with real-time access, ticker/entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and webhook or WebSocket delivery so they can focus on their product instead of data plumbing. For example, a solo developer building a crypto alert bot can sign up for the free Launchpad plan, call the news endpoint, and have ticker-tagged headlines flowing into their app in an afternoon.
