Robinhood is the example I use for showing that good design can be a company making differentiator. In many ways Robinhood is much worse as a trading platform, but the usability and simplicity of getting started is orders of magnitude above all other competition.

Absolutely. Their front-end is phenomenal, even if their back-end is subpar.

It's to the point where I use Robinhood to look at market info, then open my actual brokerage app to execute the trade. Robinhood is lightyears ahead of traditional brokerages in terms of UX.
