Traders and investors have their own preferences on what they want on their screens. An intraday scalper will value speed and a quick order window above all else, while an options trader may always want the option chain open.

Kite’s classic web UI was designed to work universally for everybody. More than a decade later, despite us adding a ton of features and capabilities, Kite is still extremely light and fast with a tiny bundle size.

While desktop trading platforms have historically had widgets, web technologies weren’t suited for this for the longest time. We’ve prototyped this on and off over the years, and last year building a web-based trading terminal became doable with native web technologies.

Introducing Kite Terminal mode. We rebuilt Kite web completely and made every single feature it has into a widget. You can now drag, drop, and rearrange all the components inside Kite to design your own interface tailor-made for the way you trade and invest. We have put in a ton of work to make the interface snappy with smooth UX. Now you can build your own trading interface like assembling Lego blocks.

In addition to investment and trading widgets, we’ve also added a bunch of productivity and personalization ones like notes, clocks, calendars, wallpapers, my Twitter feed (follow me on Kite) 😛 and more.

I’m excited to see how people design their layouts.
