40+
UI is always a huge topic , because it's hard to satisfy everyone's need. `Risk Manger` `Quant` `Trader` `Structurer` all have different requirements on UI to satisfy their own specific needs.
41+
42+
Even some magic happens there are 4 sets of UIs to be developed, the workflows accross differnet companies will create frictions as well.
43+
44+
`absbox` and `Hastructure` would focus on core functionalities and provide `RESTful` service to make it easy to integrate with any UIs.
