A prompt to build your own version of Bloomberg Terminal

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Bloomberg Terminal-style app, first version

Build a web app for finance professionals who want a focused market dashboard. Use a dark navy background, clear white text and restrained green and red price changes. The main screen should have a searchable stock watchlist on the left, a selected-stock chart in the center and related news on the right. Let me add and remove symbols and click a stock to update its chart, daily change and basic return figures. Let me switch chart time ranges and click news headlines to open their source links. Use realistic sample prices, price history and clearly labeled sample news. Mark all market data as sample data and save the watchlist locally.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Bloomberg Terminal won't have

Bloomberg connects finance professionals to established counterparties, Bloomberg's own reporting and research, and proprietary market data that licensed feeds alone do not replace.

  • Instant Bloomberg's professional network
  • Bloomberg's original financial reporting
  • Bloomberg Intelligence research
  • Bloomberg's proprietary market datasets
