Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017?

Re:Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017? by finfun234 on Sunday December 31, 2017 @02:12PM (#16042152)

I launched two projects. 1) http://instant10-k.com/ An efficient way to search 10-k and 10-q filings for publicly listed companies. A Form 10-K is an annual report required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that gives a comprehensive summary of a company's financial performance. 10-Q is the quarterly version. If you have ever purchased an individual stock you should read the 10-k and 10-Q reports. 2. http://datasetapi.com - A platform to host clean curated datasets.An airport dataset is live, More to follow.

Interesting, how is instant10-k different from EDGAR Fast Search[0]?

Thank you! Its more efficient. Here is the sec search process 1. Visiting sec.gov 2. Clicking on Company Filings 3. Typing the ticker on Fast Search 4. Visually searching for 10-k's and 10-Q's 5. Opening in another tab. 6. Clicking on it again. 7. Finally clicking on the actual document. http://instant10-k.com takes you to the actual document instantly.

1) is so great -- thanks for making/sharing. I run into the clunky search process for 10k's once in a while and think your site does a great job improving that experience.

In case you're taking feature requests, these are some things I'd love to see in a 10k site (order in relevancy):

  autocomplete in search
  see recently released 10k's
  browse functionality
  10k specific discussions (e.g., annotating similar to RapGenius as well as longform analysis)

Some/all those may not be relevant for your site, just things I've always thought would be cool to see. And again, nice job with the site!

thank you for your feedback @liampronan! Autocomplete is in the works and I will give others consideration. Please spread the word.

Insta10K is amazing. Using EDGAR was a huge pain in the ass; this is so much easier. Thank you!

I liked your first project's fast response time. Would be nice if you included 20-F filings as well. Otherwise from a usability standpoint, multiple sorting / grouping options for different forms would be helpful, as well as an error message for those searching for companies which don't file under 10-K (like Amdocs).
