<story><title>Show HN: With a 9-5 job and 2 kids I have finally finished my first MVP</title><text>Hello HN crowd.
I worked on this project on weekends and evenings. I&amp;#x27;m excited I made it into a presentable MVP, and it is so satisfying.&lt;p&gt;I would like to get some honest feedback from this great community.&lt;p&gt;I made &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freeoptionscreener.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;freeoptionscreener.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;, to scratch a personal itch. I myself trade options as a hobby, and I didn&amp;#x27;t find a screener that satisfies my need to be able to explore raw options data freely and without preset constraints. So I made this app that allows playing with options market data and extract interesting opportunities.&lt;p&gt;The techs used:
- Laravel + Jquery + Mysql
- Tradier API for market data 
- DigitalOcean for hosting
- OVH for domain name&lt;p&gt;It costs me 5$&amp;#x2F;month to run the website. I&amp;#x27;ll be glade to continue if it proves to be a viable product in the long run and maybe I will take it to the next level and try monetize it.
Note: the app is not suitable for phone screens yet, although this is a planned feature.</text></story><parent_chain><item><author>bmitch2112</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t know anything about trading options but wanted to say with a 9-5 job and 2 kids, getting any kind of MVP out is a great accomplishment.

As someone exactly in your situation, congrats for shipping!</text></comment>
