So far it’s only an agreement that needs to make its way into legislation of all other member states.

To approach this from a different angle — we have a euro7 norm that has been brewing for quite some time now and we still failed to come to an agreement. And there are talks now that the norm should also include production of EVs, electricity production and pollution from degrading brakes and tyres. Which is again stalling it even further.

So the reality might be that 2035 ban will be pushed further into the future as the date comes closer.

We wanted to try it for the sake of trying it. The fact that it is potentially more environmental friendly than a car came in as a plus.
Those sound good on paper but then reality hits you. Last summer we as a family decided to take a night train to reach our vacation destination.

What should have been 6-7 hour car drive was ~12 hour train ride. Sleep was not great, getting to and out of train stations, herding two small kids etc so at the time we've reached our destination we were pretty tired. Much more tired if we just drove.

The route back is where things went south. One of the beds in our cabin fell apart. Then there was some sort of the outage en route back so the train had to skip our station and we landed almost 150km away from our home.

Train company was trying to get us on the bus or train to get us back home but there were no free seats so it looked like we were to spend a night there. In the we've decided to take cab back home. We should have been back home ~10 in the morning. When we got home it was close to 6pm.

On top of that bathrooms were super dirty and there was no running water in the sinks.

We've paid ~700 euros for both ways and additional ~150 euros for the cab. If we just drove the whole round-trip would have cost us under 100 euros including lunch on our way there and back.

I just don't see this as an alternative to driving or flying in Europe — they are too expensive and the level of comfort they offer for the price is just horrible. Even if everything went according to the plan and our route back was without any hiccups driving would have been much more convenient.

Yeah I don't get it either why up to this point they did not fix it? For company of such size it will take almost nothing to get rid of flash there and replace it with JS

Hey! No, not yet but as I've mentioned before our next major feature on the list is portfolio management and watchlists.

You can filter by sector on bigger device (tablet or laptop/desktop) but not on mobile. We will think about what can be done there, no promises though!

We already have OR but it is still a bit buggy and needs some fixing around (thats why we do not publicly advertise it) — https://stockrow.com/screener/2ca1a6ad-3855-4baa-ae2e-710bfb...

As for the rest — we are slowly tackling these and will add them along the way no ETAs though since we it's a hobby project

Thanks! We will not do that as we believe in honest ads and despise sites like yahoo finance due to ads overload. We plan to introduce premium subscription in the future (what is free now will stay free forever tough). It will be cheap-ish (something around 5-10$ a month) and if it will be financially sufficient we will remove ads all-together.

There is https://www.alphavantage.co which is free now but we've stayed away from them since they were not replying to our enquiries and they do not have any ToS available.

Cheapest realtime stock prices I've seen were ~500$; don't remember where that was though.
