Before we got here,
here's what wasn't working.
Gold Dashboard is a financial analytics platform for gold and precious metals investors. It aggregates real-time spot prices from multiple data providers, tracks user portfolios with P&L calculations, and delivers AI-summarised market news and technical analysis.
We confirmed every challenge with the team before writing a line of production code. The right column lists the pain points we tackled head-on and how we approached each one.
What wasn't working
BEFOREAggregating prices from multiple data providers with different schemas
Built a normalisation adapter layer that maps each provider's API response to a unified price schema before storage.
Don't over-engineer.
Solve what matters, ship fast.
The instinct on complex projects is to rebuild everything from scratch. We pushed back. A full rewrite often means months of regressions while engineering rebuilds features that were already working.
We mapped the existing workflow against actual usage. The result was clear: a small set of features accounted for the majority of user time. We rebuilt the core, shipped fast, and extended outward.
On the technical side, we made clear decisions early and held them. The right column shows what we chose, and why.

What changed,
measured against the day-one baseline.
