About Project

Market Tidings is online high-traffic platform bringing individual investors unique news and insights. The main idea and purpose of the the Market Tidings project platform is to expose corruption or share news without fear of being exposed and to get the straight stories without any government influence or public relations opinion.
Market Tidings ensures that users receive a wide array of independent perspectives including real stories, investing ideas and analysis on daily basis. The platform grant users and contributors with the certain level of anonymity should they choose so. Generally website functions as a combination of news portal and social network.
The implementation process was divided by WebCodin into several sprints during which the range of web development services such as architecture and core modules development, UI/UX design, HTML/CSS coding, testing, bugfixing, deploying, SRS composing and project management services have been provided. The main functionality and features of Market Tidings platform include mail system, moderation workflow, displaying featured article, articles, blocks with custom comments, voting and social sharing systems, view and comments counter, advertising and account management system, article moderation and user login/registration. Users can submit posts as an anonym persons so the appropriate functionality and action flow were developed and implemented.
