I am working as a web developer for nearly 20 years. I care a lot about simple and maintainable code that is fun to work with, good documentation and clean APIs.
What exactly made you choose Laravel as a backend for your software? I created everything with PHP some years ago but since I got into serious javascript development, I ditched everything for nodeJS. Especially the ability to render my frontend components as well on serverside made me leave PHP rather quickly.
I LOVE your finance data sources - thanks for listing them! My team works on the finance data section of germanies biggest news website and I dropped the coingecko API in our Slack channel. Lets see what the team says by tomorrow :)
About your hosting: I was using DigitalOcean since recently, too. I switched to Hetzner since their pricing is cheaper (and its a European Provider, you know GDPR and stuff) - and I must admit, their dashboard is at least as good as DigitalOceans'.
By the way, their traffic cost is MUCH cheaper than with DO. And you get cheaper file hosting, too if you need it.
I removed Google Analytics from all my personal web projects. According to european law its illegal to transfer personal data into the US, what GA does. I switched to plausible.io and am really happy with it (costs money, tough).
I wish you good look with your app, I really like it! If you happen to live in the Barcelona area we can maybe meet some day for a beer and talk a bit about web development! :)
Thanks! I think I have to eliminate Google Analytics as soon as possible, the truth is that I practically don't use it.
About Laravel, I feel very comfortable with it and I really enjoy using it. I thought about doing the backend with javascript, but I don't feel so comfortable with it. In the end it depends a bit on your background.

Hola Víctor!
Your app looks very promising! :)

Yeah, it was the same for me. The data which plausible collects is totally fine for me (how many visitors on which URL, maybe some custom events).
You should give them a try - its 2 month for free. And if you like it but don't want to pay, there is a free self hosted option: plausible.io/docs/
