## Why it was saved

- [@Knipfer, 21 November 2023](https://x.com/Knipfer/status/1727025165576671467): Shows a UX pattern where search-to-page navigation feels instant even across seven tickers plus global markets; useful both as a design benchmark for speed and as a tool to try.
- [@Knipfer, 21 November 2023](https://x.com/Knipfer/status/1727025165576671467): Engineering context that pairs with the demo; a case study in fixing perceived performance by simplification rather than micro-optimizations.
- [@brotzky, 7 February 2024](https://x.com/brotzky/status/1755274929082372382): Real product shown in the demo; the author is its co-founder, so it's a genuine tool to try
- [@tcosta, 30 May 2024](https://x.com/tcosta/status/1796227116591100033): The product shown in the design — a browsing/trading tool with a polished interface
- [@tcosta, 8 January 2025](https://x.com/tcosta/status/1877137932147962255): Cited by the author as a benchmark for a design-first product built by a team of just two engineers and one designer, covering the site, app, server, jobs, desktop and everything else.
