Detailed view

[tomasz-oponowicz]

Symbols have a lot of information to show.

In order to provide useful information and keep the user interface clean, we would like to introduce a new detailed view. A user could access it by clicking a symbol in the list view. Additionally the list view could be simplified by moving extra data to the detailed view.

List view

For each symbol:

• Symbol ID
• Symbol human readable name
• Price
• Price change
• Pre/Post Market price change

Detailed view

• Symbol ID
• Symbol human readable name
• Is market open/closed?
• Last update time
• Currency
• Price
• Price change
• Price change percent
• Pre/Post Market price
• Pre/Post Market price change
• Pre/Post Market price change percent
• Price chart, modes:
  • 1 day
  • 5 days
  • 1 month
  • 1 year
  • 5 years
• Actions:
  • Copy Price
  • Open Yahoo Finance for details

Note: Stocks have concept of the after hours trading (Pre/Post Market * values). Other instruments, like currencies or cryptocurrencies, don't have this concept.

Inspiration

Various screenshots of Yahoo Finance and MSN Money apps:

I know nothing about stocks, but in terms of visuals/structure I think the second example you have here feels a lot better. I think that layout would map fairly well to the GNOME HIG, with the exception of the Summary/Details tabs, I think it'd be better to put details in a sub-view or just below the other content on the summary view.

hey Tobias, thank you for your feedback.

I agree that the second view feels more natural in the Gnome environment.

With regard to tabs, I think they are not needed. According to listed properties, the summary view should be enough.

I installed this app using flatpak in Elementary OS and it is very promising. It looks really good and adding a detailed view in the app would be great since I don't like being taken to Yahoo website for the details.

Keep up with great work @tomasz-oponowicz
