This is one I'm developing myself. I've used OptionNet Explorer for years and it works well, but there were things I just didn't like about it...mostly that it only runs on Windows so I've had to keep a Windows VM around just to run it. Plus there were other features I wanted. So I've been hacking away at this (w/ the help of Claude) for the past 2 months and I'm now using it full-time and l've started an early beta program with another trader I know to try to find more bugs/ideas/etc.

I've been on a massive kick to own my own stuff...I just picked up a decent starter AI box so I can run private models and not rely on the big guys nearly as much. I have my own mini data center at the house..this fedi instance has run on it for years. I still outsource email because, IMO, it's become a PITA to self-host. But outside of that, I run a bunch of the services I use locally.
