Teen Developer Tackles Financial Literacy Crisis With Free Platform

Most students forget financial lessons after a single school semester, but Finly tackles this gap with engaging, practical tools—including a stock portfolio simulator backed by real S&P 500 data. Built by a 17-year-old with Next.js and Supabase, the platform combines gamification and age-appropriate content to make finance accessible for ages 8-17. Its nonprofit, free-access model demonstrates a sustainable blueprint for democratizing financial knowledge where schools leave off.
