Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.

We keep seeing hundreds of Bloomberg competitors mimicking the interface and they always forget that the chat (with the connections), data and the newsroom are the reasons why Bloomberg's network effect is close to impossible to break.
Using the Bloomberg Terminal is taught very early at colleges for any finance professional, which is how they get them as well.
When I see new software now, my first thought is an LLM wrote it and it makes me not want to use it. I also assume there are bugs and it’s not particularly feature-rich.

Correct. Also, Bloomberg has messaging for traders that is actually an important network effect in certain domains.

it's a GUI and a TUI, pay attention to the screenshots
An aside - do tools like this (or what it's modeling, the Bloomberg Terminal) really offer that much benefit to finance folks?

this looks neat, what's the data source and latency?
Looks like Yahoo and the SEC for filings: https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb/tree/cd82b5c61a8d0eb0d...
Was just about to ask on data sourcing, I imagine yfinance is used but can't really tell for anything else (like for prediction markets or news data).

my first thoughts too.
What I pressume is the text for "Gloomberg" in the Hero header looks very fucked up

Hopefully it's not intentional
How well do you think their terminal works if they couldn't even spend the time to clean up their vibe coded website?
How much intent can you ascribe to any of this?
Looks fine on my end (Firefox).
Gloom Harder?
looks fine on my machine
