   I'm thinking if developing something with an easy UI probably in Node/Electron, that gives me a nice overview of my investments, i'd also like to keep track of certain stocks, and crypto prices and trends. Nothing to fancy, push notifications might me nice to send alerts to an email address i set up, in case BTC goes down a certain amount.
   
   Anyone any experience with something of the sort? If so what lang did you use, and which API's?

   No need. a simple XHR request (Javascript) to an API should suffice.

   Have you thought about doing it in python, and then using something like PHP to access the python resource to display the data on the frontend?
   
   Or, give Laravel and AlpineJS a shot, you'll learn some more javascript and OOP practices to use in the future... My offers still stands though

   Also, when you need frontend design doing, go to dribble, find me a picture of a nice design and I'll make it for you.

   Thanks fam, i appreciate that. Also, reason i mentioned Electron is because it's basically NodeJS but for UI, i can make API calls with node all the same. I'mma look into Alpine. If i do it in Python, i'll use a python web app framework. I wanna have a go at a JS based solution though.

   Yes, I call it a "Financial advisor", very easy to use and all voice activated.

   I got one of those already, but the purpose of the program is to give me a quick and comprehensive overview first and foremost, and perhaps integrate an easy way to set up various crypto wallets, and have a couple of quick resources i can go to from within the application.

   Good idea. Although i am unfamiliar with the exact technology required to integrate such a feature.
