Show HN: I made a Duolingo but for Investing (with a Simplified Trading Window)

I'm in university and I'm broke. So naturally, last year, I got hit with the weirdly common desire to start trading - only to discover that every “solution” out there felt intimidating, too time-consuming or even scammy. It seemed wild then how so many people crave an approachable path to the markets, but none exists.

I was then venting to a buddy about it, and only in that rant, the idea of MoMoney was somehow born — a Duolingo for investing + trading that gamified everything, the same friend I'm actually building with this summer. We then got to some market research and discovered outrageous whitespaces for something like this, and so we started.

We asked users to brutally rate a handful of “what-if” investing scenarios, then used that raw feedback to craft personalized lesson paths — and paired it with a live, game-style trading sandbox that (hopefully) feels more like play than work for the practice anyone sorely needs to get good at trading and/or investing.

TLDR: MoMoney is a “Duolingo-for-investing” app that combines microlearning with a simplified trading simulation so you can learn and practice real-world trading in minutes. We built an MVP to test its reception!

First time posting here on HN, I'd love to hear any thoughts at all
