TerminalFeed is a free, real-time data dashboard built for developers, traders, and the genuinely curious. It includes a free live Bitcoin ticker with sub-second price updates, and pulls from 30+ additional data sources on a single dark, terminal-themed page. Think of it as a Bloomberg Terminal without the $25,000 price tag. No account required, no paywall, no tracking cookies.
The real-time Bitcoin ticker at the top of the page streams the live BTC price via Binance WebSocket with one-second updates on desktop and automatic fallback to CoinCap when the primary stream drops. You can also pull the latest price directly from the free public API at /api/btc-price. Beyond the ticker, monitor the top cryptocurrency movers sorted by 24 hour change, BTC network stats including block height, mempool size, hashrate, and transaction fees. Check the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, global crypto market cap, BTC dominance, and daily trading volume. Watch large whale transactions on the Bitcoin network as they happen. Follow stock market movers, forex currency pairs, commodity prices, and global market hours across exchanges worldwide.
TerminalFeed aggregates tech and AI headlines from Hacker News, Reddit, and curated RSS feeds. Stream Wikipedia edits in real time. Monitor earthquake activity from USGS with live seismic event data. Track global disaster alerts via GDACS, upcoming space launches, cybersecurity threats from URLhaus and ThreatFox, prediction market odds from Polymarket, service status for GitHub, Cloudflare, Discord, and OpenAI, and more. Every panel updates automatically so the page always reflects what is happening right now.
