This project began with a question → “How can an ordinary office worker, like myself, achieve one million dollars through stock investing?” As such, the core service of this project is to provide a practical roadmap that guides users on how they can realistically reach the ambitious goal of one million dollars.
Login Service
The first major dilemma I faced was whether to implement a user login system. Since this is a "One Million Dollar" project, I felt it would be much more engaging if users could directly input their stock portfolios and track their real-time progress toward their goals.
However, I am working with a limited server capacity of approximately 2GB. Implementing a traditional login system would require building out features like user registration, password encryption, and session management, which demand significant resources. Furthermore, I questioned whether users would be willing to go through a cumbersome sign-up process just to use a simple experiential service.
To balance the need for personal data storage with system efficiency, I decided to adopt a "Unique Token Assignment" approach instead of a conventional login. When a user first accesses the service, they will be issued a unique token. By simply entering this token later, they can retrieve their saved portfolio and progress. This method allows me to maintain a personalized user experience while minimizing server load and removing the friction of registration.
Replacing traditional logins with unique tokens for user identification.
다음은 어떤 기능들을 어떻게 중점적으로 넣을지 생각을 해봐야한다. 일단 필수 기능으로 사용자가 자신의 포트폴리오늘 입력하고 현재 상황을 볼 수 있어야할거 같다. 그렇기 위해선 사용자가 데이터를 입력해야하기 때문에 입력란을 만들어줘야할거 같은데 입력란은 다음과 같다.
구매 날짜, 티커, 구매 가격, 구매 수량
