Compounding Journal
An installable trading journal that holds you to a compounding plan, trade by trade.
The brief
Most traders lose an account because the plan lives in their head. The Compounding Journal makes the plan the app: you set a starting balance and a daily target, and every logged trade is measured against the curve you promised yourself. It is a Next.js progressive web app — installable, dark by default, and usable offline on the phone sitting next to the chart. Built on a typed component system with shadcn/ui and lucide icons, then statically exported so it opens instantly on a Ugandan mobile connection.
What it does well
- The compounding plan is the core object — every trade is scored against the target curve
- Installable PWA with an offline-first shell and its own manifest
- Dark-first design system built on shadcn/ui primitives
- Static export: no server, near-instant loads on slow mobile data
