AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemCozy

Keyboard-driven stock analysis in terminal, but limited to Nix users and lacks novel fundamentals.

Strengths
  • •Distraction-free terminal UX for focused financial analysis workflow—no web bloat or notifications
  • •C++ + SQLite backend means zero latency for metric recalculation across large portfolios
  • •Nix packaging eliminates dependency hell for Linux/macOS users—genuinely reproducible setup
Weaknesses
  • •Nix-only distribution severely limits audience; Windows users need WSL, most casual investors use browsers
  • •No automated data ingestion shown—appears to be manual ticker entry, weakening workflow vs. Yahoo Finance or E*TRADE

Post Description

Intrinsic is a terminal tool I built to analyze companies from financial statements.

It’s an ncurses TUI written in C++ that stores data locally in SQLite. The goal is a fast keyboard-driven workflow for tracking companies and computing metrics like P/E, EV, ROE, margins, etc.

The project is written in C++ and distributed as a Nix package (Linux/macOS, WSL on Windows).

Moatifi – Free Buffett-style moat analysis for stocks

It pairs a 12-filter quantitative screen (ROE/ROIC, debt, FCF consistency) and a DCF/margin-of-safety calc with an AI-written moat and management note — nice for fast triage. Nothing groundbreaking in concept (lots of sites promise the same combo), but the end-to-end delivery — screening, intrinsic value, and an AI thesis — makes it genuinely useful if you want a quick second opinion before digging deeper.

Billiver – Free financial data for 3k US companies from SEC filings

Data-first move I appreciate: EDGAR-sourced, normalized financials plus 13F aggregation and a 'cluster buying' insider flag give immediate, actionable entry points for dividend and value investors. The UI is tidy and scannable — lists, recent updates and investor portfolios are surfaced clearly — but there’s nothing radically new here (no backtesting, unclear export/API options), so it’s a very useful tool for DIY research rather than a replacement for paid terminals.
