Improving Usability of Financial News Visualization Interface
Problem
The interface is overly cluttered and has tiny fonts that reduce readability; there is a lack of inexpensive, legally usable market data sources; and the visualization needs for fundamental investors are not fully addressed.
Pain points
- Interface is too cluttered and fonts are too small to read
- Lack of inexpensive and legally usable market data sources
- Fundamental investor visualization needs are unmet
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to pay a subscription fee for higher-quality market data?
- Which specific elements of the current interface (e.g., font size, layout) most affect your reading experience?
- Which channel do you prefer for obtaining financial news and market data?
Evidence

The UI is pretty cluttered and noisy. Especially the fonts below the charts are too small to read.
