A website to fetch stock data based on the user's request.
Ship #1
EconSite is a simple website that lets you track stock market prices. You just type in a stock symbol (like AAPL for Apple or TSLA for Tesla), and the site pulls live details like the current price, daily highs and lows, market cap, and the company logo from the Finnhub API. The biggest challenge was making sure the website's CSS and JavaScript loaded when published online. At first, the server couldn't find the styling files because of tricky folder pathways. To test the project, all you need to do is open the live link and search for your favorite major stock symbols to see the text automatically switch colors (green if the stock went up today, red if it went down) and watch the details update instantly.

Finished setting up the project on GitHub, it required me to create a few files that helped connect the pages. I used Finnhub to get the api data for the stocks and I tried to make a simple, clean UI.

Finished the CSS and Readme. I am still in the process of hosting it on Github Pages.

I read the guide and finished writing my HTML and JavaScript code. I have not decided how my app will look, so I have not yet written my CSS code. This website will fetch all the information about a stock or crypto based on the user’s request. I also plan to add a stock name lookup on the sidebar, but that might not be something I implement at all.
