Hi

I was trying to run the stock-advisor. Following issues I faced.

1. If I want to run locally, Cloudant connectivity parameters has changed. No User/password available. Now its all API key.
2. I got int into error while running the pipeline which I think is due to change in connectivity parameter.

It will be great if u take care the issue.

3. Deploy to IBM Cloud
   Suggestions:

• I've had previous experience with IBM Cloud before, so I was familiar with navigating the website and even if I wasn't, the instructions explaining how to deploy the code to IBM Cloud were very straightforward.

• It was especially nice to have that screen shot showing what the stock advisor app should look like in Step 2, which I would also recommend to incorporate in the following Step 3 and Steps 1-7 in "Update the Environment of your deployed app."

• It probably would be better for the user to know they have to create an IBM Cloud account in the initial Prerequisites rather than at the end of the "Deploy to IBM Cloud instructions" since both options of deploying to the IBM Cloud and running locally utilize a Cloud account.

public/libs folder is missing from the repo and is referenced in the public/index.html

This is what appears on the console:

Kindly advise.

4. Update the Environment of your Deployed App
   Suggestions:

• Updating the Environment of your deployed app should be made into Step 4 because it is a necessary component of the stock advisor.

• As stated before, Steps 1-7 would be more clear if a screen shot accompanied the instructions to show the user exactly what they should be seeing and doing.

1. Clone the repo
   -Cloning the repository is straightforward, instructions tell you exactly what to do
   -But what if the person doesn't know what a terminal is? What if they are just starting out with coding, maybe should offer an explanation or recommendation on where to go for more information?

2. Create IBM Cloud services
   -Watson Discovery: Process is clear, but free IBM Cloud account only lets you create so many services, so that could be an issue.
   -Cloudant NoSQL DB: See later suggestions

3. Configure Watson Discovery and get credentials
   -Launching and choosing Watson Discovery News from the Manage Data tab is clear.
   -Found Environment ID ok as well, but maybe explain what a .env file?
   -Looked at youtube video tutorial for help, followed along to get to the credentials on terminal.
   -No clear written instructions on how to get .env file and how to edit it - maybe add something to further clarify?

4. Provision Cloudant NoSQL DB and Get Credentials
   -Navigated to console.bluemix.net and searched for cloudant nosql, but 3 results came up, not 1.
   -Not listed under data & analytics section.

5. Web Portal
   -Not quite why these instructions are here, why is it important to have the repository of the template of the website?

6. Add IBM Cloud Services Credentials to .env file
   -Clear on how to get the credentials, but to replace the credentials to the .env file, need to know how to use the vi text editor
   -Where do you exactly save the file on the computer?

7. Run the application
   -Need to have downloaded Node.js and npm, steps just tell you to run "npm install" and "npm start" in root directory
   -^Should be a part of the prerequisites or add more instructions to step 7

Hello Team IBM,

We are the support team of Alpha Vantage. Huge fan of the Watson Stock Advisor - we are honored to be part of the journey!

The title of the project home page reads "Use Watson Discovery, Cloudant NoSQL DB, and Node.js to create a web app to monitor sentiment, price, and news for individually listed stocks."

Would it be possible to include Alpha Vantage in the title as well? If you see fit, please feel free to drop us a note at [email protected] anytime.

Sincerely,

Team Alpha Vantage

All mentions of "Watson News Explorer" on the developerWorks code pattern page should be replaced with "Watson Discovery News"

I deployed the app using the Deploy to IBM Cloud button. I was able to add stocks but no sentiment, news or trend graph was created.

Looking at the CF logs, no errors are reported. I can see the services properly linked as the VCAP environment variables are set:

Looking good so far team! We need to do a few other things to make this a "code pattern":

1. Create a thorough README.md
2. Create a wiki to draft IBMCode content
3. Add an architectural diagram
4. Add Deploy to IBM Cloud support
5. Create a video
6. Create a blog
7. Add unit tests
8. Add linting tests

• See https://github.com/IBM/watson-discovery-ui as an example for 1-4 and 7
• See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUj826ybCdU as an example of 5
• See https://developer.ibm.com/code/2017/12/01/creating-offline-first-shopping-list-app-polymer-pouchdb/ as an example of 6

1. 3-4 stats (e.g. P/E, div yield, mkt cap) added to chart at top left of page
2. Remove ticker column from chart (or add ticker as a parenthetical next to company name)
3. Consider replacing red delete buttons with one small edit icon inside the Company cell
4. Change neutral sentiment pie chart color from yellow to light grey
5. Re news articles: either segment according to meaningful categories/concepts and arrange articles according to these buckets, or, otherwise, add 1-5 keyword tags below article icon describing article content
   —> this step is crucial to highlight Discovery enrichments
6. Optional: add a second graph similar to the co-mentions graph in the Discovery News demo
7. Display high/low and open/close in app header

Hello! My name is Madison and I'm one of the IBM Digital Business Group San Francisco interns this summer. I'm currently going through some IBM code patterns and documenting my experiences to hopefully provide some useful suggestions to help improve the code patterns' user instructions. As a beginner coder, I hope I'll be able to bring a fresh pair of eyes to these patterns and provide some feedback on how to perhaps clarify some steps to make them more clear to other beginner developers who are new to code patterns and the topics these code patterns cover in general.

Steps
Suggestions:

• I went through both the "Deploy to IBM Cloud" button and creating the services & run locally options, but when I was first starting this code pattern, I was confused about the difference between them and which one I should personally do. It may be helpful for users to be able to read an explanation of each option so they can better decide which one to do or to start out with.

• Providing definitions for these two options can also be applied to all code patterns containing deploy to IBM cloud and running locally instructions.

When adding a company, in the drop down the ticker is visible but on adding it returns no ticker found.
here is my console output
