I find it an interesting branch out from the original concept/submission of this in Feb 2021 as a "Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26258773)

Good luck - It is about time that Bloomberg Terminal had someone trying to eat their lunch.

View on HN

For as long as I've been in finance (measured in decades now, scarily enough) somebody's been trying to displace Bloomberg. They haven't succeeded.

I guess when you use the word "disrupt" over and over, you end up believing its applicable in all industries.

For as long as I've been on HN (over a decade now, jeez) somebody's been evoking the name in their pitch thinking they have a good grasp of what our products actually do. I'll happily hat tip Betteridge and stake claim to Paprocki's law of HN subjects. It's an old adage that states: "Any product that says it is a Bloomberg Terminal replacement and will kill the Terminal -- isn't and won't."
