Hi HN, I started investing when I was 14 and always found it annoying to manually value companies using Excel.

So I built Socks2Stocks, a simple tool that automatically estimates fair value using a discounted cash flow (DCF) calculator.

Originally, I overbuilt it with too many half-baked features. Everything felt wrong, so I scrapped the whole thing and rebuilt it from scratch with just one feature: the DCF calculator I always wanted when I first got into investing.

How it works The app pulls financial data through an API, runs free cash flow projections, and automatically outputs a fair value estimate. The cash flow projections are based on the average growth rate of FCF over the past 10 years and then projected forward. Users can, of course, enter their own assumptions.

I’d love any feedback, and to hear whether you think people would actually use this. Thank you for reading.
