I was noodling around to find some company financials and in the process found a site called simplywall.st, and as a couple of examples, here are its pages for BRK
simplywall.st - Berkshire hathaway
and for DG
simplywall.st - Dollar general

At first look, I like it (except for the blobby thingy they call a 'snowflake'). Sure beats looking at a table of numbers. If you're interested, explore down the page. Seems like a nice presentation of current and past financials (although I'd prefer 10 years of data for everything as well as ability to download). If you have some other site you like, please mention it?

Now for the blobby thingy (snowflake): it's nice that you can mouse over, click, and drill-down inside it. But am I missing something? Why's it a blob?

My understanding is that they've got five attributes that they're representing graphically as pieces of a pie: Value, Future, Paste, Health, Dividend. Each attribute has six things that get scored as 1/0, then they add the six scores to determine the size of the radius of each wedge/attribute. The maximum size is therefore 6 i.e. a full pie (yum!) would be score=6 in each of the five attribute/wedges. IIRC, the blob color is determined from adding up all the scores.

Anyhoo, the wedge seems superfluous to me, isn't all the info is in the five axes of the pie. And if that's the case, why a pie-blob at all why not just five spokes out from the center? And if that's the case, why not a standard five-bar barchart (can color the overall chart if you like)?

So, this post has three points:
1) I found this site, it looked pretty nice, so seemed worth sharing to see what others may think
2) Do you know of other nice sites?
3) Am I missing something, what's with the blob/snowflake thingy, can't you just use a bar chart?
