Key insights
- Two laid-off software engineers created a free DCF calculator and portfolio tracking tool. While potentially useful for individual investors, it has minimal direct impact on overall US equity market movements. The tool's value lies in its utility for individual stock analysis, not as a leading indicator of broader market trends.

Hey everyone,
My buddy and I are two laid-off software engineers. We were tired of relying on messy spreadsheets just to see all our investments in one place, so we used our free time to build the tool we wanted to use ourselves.
It’s called Metis. It has no payment processor, no ads, and no premium tiers. It's strictly manual entry because we don't want to connect to bank APIs for privacy reasons.
What it actually does:
- The Single Dashboard: The baseline goal is just to see all your holdings, across different brokers and currencies, in one clean view. * Built-in DCF: It pulls fundamental data for ~1000 stocks so you can tweak growth rates and margins to run your own intrinsic value math without rebuilding an Excel model every time. * "Time Travel" Backtesting: You can compare your current portfolio against a snapshot of what you held a year ago to see if your activity actually beat just staying put. (Still tweaking this, so please try to break it).
We have basically zero users right now. If you have a few minutes, please poke holes in our DCF assumptions, tell us if the UI makes sense, or just point us to a better alternative so we know what we're up against.
Thanks!
