Looking at a video on YouTube of it, it seems it actually has a very modern search-based UI where you type something and it autocompletes/searches commands, and things are clickable by mouse too.
So for instance you type "Google" and it shows a bunch of Google-related stock ticker, you click one, then type "earnings" and it shows you some tools that allow you to learn about earnings, graph, project them, etc.
It doesn't look like you can do much better UI-wise even for beginners.
It seems substantially better than Google/Yahoo Finance though, so there could be a market for building a (ad-supported?) website that offers the most common tools with the same quality of the Bloomberg terminal.
- apaprocki 11y agoOne can always do better :) But yes, "autocomplete" (in Terminal parlance) has made discoverability much better. You can just start typing what you want and chances are you'll find what you're looking for right away. You can even ask it questions and it will answer the direct question for you if it can. (e.g. "What were Google's earnings?" takes you to the exact answer)
