I worked on a similar project while an undergrad at KU. (http://www.oread.ku.edu/2008/october/20/fraank.shtml)

I like the idea, a lot. This seems to be well executed, but I wonder how much of a future this thing has with XBRL becoming a requirement. In 5 to 7 years there will be enough historical data tagged in XBRL for any analyst to perform as financial analysis.

Also, on the website I can search 400,000+ companies, but there only seems to be ~4900 filings on the dashboard. Doesn't add up to me.
