That was a scratch your own itch project; just so you understand we (folks behind stockrow) are hobby investors who do not plan to pay for services like bloomberg and ycharts yet require tools and access to data in simplest possible form. For us problem is that all screeners (and tools) that are available are either slow, dumb, lack flexibility, are really hard to use or expensive (or all of the above combined). So what we did with two friends of mine — we've created our dream product: simple and fast with all data freely available. It is still in it's infancy but we keep adding things that we need and improve it so it suits us. Sorry to say but we do not plan custom metrics at this point as this is beyond our capabilities as investors at this points (frankly speaking we do not need them, but if voices are loud enough we might consider that options) but we do plan to introduce backtesting at some point. I know about StockRover but for me UI is really complex; I need a screener where I can get results almost instantly without much thinking or clicking around.

As a small time hobby investor, I basically gave up finding a stock screener that was affordable. This looks great, I'd definitely pay a few dollars a month for something like this.

First off, neat tool! I see Finviz.com does much of the same for free. > we (folks behind stockrow) are hobby investors who do not plan to pay for services like bloomberg and ycharts yet require tools and access to data Respectfully, you do not require tools and data. You need to play a winners game and not pick stocks. Key to winning investing is to lower fees and taxes.
