It tells you something about how much a gambling place the market is when a site like this has a one day default for the price change. When it comes to a high level view of the market, why would I care for a comparison of todays prices to ... YESTERDAY??
My first reaction was to look for a 10 year option. There is none, so I took the 5 year option. All of the big names roughly doubled or tripled over the last 5 years. Amazon lagging a bit behind. I could start to reason about the numbers but .. 5 years is just too short. I would play with it more if there was a 10 year option.
And I would love Love LOVE a European version of this.
In defence of prices yesterday - the people who would use a tool like this the most are the traders since they are looking at the numbers every day, so it probably comes out of the trader community.
Real returns are expected to be in the 2-8% range which means that most people should be looking at timeframes around 10-50 year. Unfortunately at that range the money printing has a real impact so the chart needs to be adjusted for inflation and, realistically, changes in the money supply [0] and so it is more work for the implementer.
[0] If it hasn't gone up 33% since 2020 it probably lost value in real terms.

And a symmetrically higher chance of ruin, and in the process the "averaged out" gain might actually be worse than the index investor after taxes, fees, and inflation are factored in.
Super clean and instantly legible. Great to have a clean, up-to-date tech-only treemap, glad this exists!
A few suggestions:
1) Sector/subsector drill-downs (AI, cloud, semis, autos) so you can zoom into sectors/clusters
2) Hover/tap cards with basics like revenue, P/E, EV/EBITDA, or YTD return
3) AI “explanations mode”: tap a ticker -> auto-generate a 1-sentence summary of why it moved today (“AMD up 3%: fabs reporting stronger wafer starts; NVDA sympathy move”)
What's the conventional wisdom explanation for why the big enterprise SaaS vendors are all down 10-20%+ YTD. This holds for ServiceNow, Workday, and even Salesforce?
5 year view drops META, I guess it loses continuity with the previous ticker? That would be a cool bug to fix, because companies do switch stuff from time to time (see e.g. GOOG -> GOOG+GOOGL)
Yes, some of the data drops. That one is because of the ticker change I think. Would be glad to add it to the roadmap, but it's really just a fun internal tool turned side project for me, so please do lmk if you want to help.
Thanks for posting! If anyone is interested in the project and wants to help, please DM me. I made this as an internal tool for myself and shared it in case others found it cool. Plenty of roadmap / much more than I have time, so anyone is welcome to help if excited about where it can go:

Oh man being able to pick the time range is awesome. I hate hate hate standard financial data tables and how they just show you "today's performance". Absolutely useless, nobody in retail cares outside of gambling day traders. How is it that even giants like Fidelity can't get this right? I need to be able to see my portfolio's performance over the last month, year, 5 years!
It looks like the company (ticker: HIMS) has made a lot of noise about being an AI-enabled telehealth company etc., so it might be one of those "because it's on the internet" things.
Great question. I included them because they would argue very tech enabled. Also, around $10B market cap cutoff. In a future iteration I may make it so you can edit which companies get displayed...if that's interesting to people.
It's totally wild to me that Cisco is still a top-20 entry on this map, in light of the fact that their products contain 100% frozen concentrated garbage juice and they haven't made anything that benefitted the customer in more than 20 years.
This, and pretty much every other hobby project posted on HN, gets blocked by my corporate firewall. Anyone know why this might be the case? I'm guessing it might be something to do with SSL but not sure. Otherwise my corp has unrestricted access to internet.

Nice work. For more inspiration I would take a look at this website -> https://finviz.com/map.ashx
I use it all the time and its one of my favorite ways to visually see what is happening.
Yes, I love finviz. Lmk if you want any additional features implemented or are interested in helping build.
This is cool.

Because earning 10% in passive index funds over 20-30 years will not make you rich.
Subtract taxes and inflation, and you’re at low single digit returns.
The average tech person “gambling” with stock picking will have the same quality of life as the passive index fund investor.
However the gambler has higher chance at generational wealth. The index fund investor does not.

Most people don’t invest in things with the explicit goal of getting rich.
Most average investors would be happy with guaranteed single digit returns, however boring.
They could save a lot of effort and take it to the casino.

Congrats on the ship @krkb :)

Not that I agree, but per-seat pricing, with forecasted lower seat growth of companies due to AI labor market displacement.

it would be nice to historically visualize splits and buybacks but this is a hard problem to display across broad markets nicely
Can you include bitcoin?

Can you view different dimensions? It'd be nice to see revenue, say, or profits. As in, allow changing the size metric
At a glance, that’s what, 2/3rds of the market in 10 companies?

why is hims and hers listed as a tech company?
Tech isn't a market thats why.... but there is a narrative that it is.
Tesla is an automobile, solar and robotics company.
Facebook is a media company.
Google is a highly diversified media company.
The list goes on and on...
Fun fact: Goldman Sachs spends $1.9B on technology ever year. Palantir spends about $1B (if you add COGS/Infra + R&D).
It looks like the company (ticker: HIMS) has made a lot of noise about being an AI-enabled telehealth company etc., so it might be one of those "because it's on the internet" things.
Great question. I included them because they would argue very tech enabled. Also, around $10B market cap cutoff. In a future iteration I may make it so you can edit which companies get displayed...if that's interesting to people.
Maybe because it's HQ is in the Bay area? :)
If Netflix is a tech company, why aren’t any of the other streaming businesses?
I guess that’s just Comcast and Disney, since Paramount went private, and WarnerBros is about to also.
In my experience using both Netflix and Disney+ I have to say that Netflix is clearly a tech company or Disney+ is a pigeon carrier company.
I didn't realize that Doordash was doing so well.
It's doing well, TODAY. 6% daily bumps are big but they happen all the time. Look at its performance over the past year for a better picture.
There are apparently a lot of people, if probably a small subset of the population, who will pay a big premium for delivered food.
Incredibly well

This is the scary thing about OpenAI. When the OpenAI bubble pops it is going to cause an immense amount of 401k pain for a lot of people.
OpenAI is not a public company - it shouldn't affect anyone's 401K.
It will affect Microsoft, NVidia, Oracle at least and many other companies which have deals with them.
And when it does, the losses in their 401Ks will be due to the artificial gains they've been seeing in the last few years.
IOW, I don't expect people's 401K to dip below what it would have been had the AI bubble never existed.
Thinking of maybe including private companies on here some day too. A few people recommended.
