Hi HN, I believe S-1&#x27;s should be more widely read, but are intimidating to first time readers. Here, I&#x27;ve taken Eventbrite&#x27;s S-1, took only the most essential sections (~1&#x2F;5 of total text), and overlaid a simple WP template to improve readability. Do you think it would be make sense for something like this to exist for ALL S-1&#x27;s?<p>Here&#x27;s Eventbrite&#x27;s original full S-1 for comparison: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;1475115&#x2F;000119312518255960&#x2F;d593770ds1.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;1475115&#x2F;000119312518...</a>

Sorry, I will be honest and say that there is nothing useful in what you have provided. I don&#x27;t even think you understand the end user. You have replaced a single S-1 page with a bunch of links, and you don&#x27;t even have the financial numbers. That&#x27;s probably the biggest reason why people look at the S-1. Not including the S-1 financials means that you really don&#x27;t understand the people who consume them, which is a red flag.<p>Replacing sections with separate links, and forcing you to click around doesn&#x27;t make things better, it&#x27;s actually unnecessary friction.

I personally don&#x27;t find this any more readable than the real S-1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;1475115&#x2F;000119312518255960&#x2F;d593770ds1.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sec.gov&#x2F;Archives&#x2F;edgar&#x2F;data&#x2F;1475115&#x2F;000119312518...</a><p>The real S-1 has a clickable table of contents, is easier to navigate (doesn&#x27;t require back and forth clicking) and has more data (financials, capitalization, voting structure, etc)

If im honest this is difficult to read as a financial analyst. The original document is easier to search and traverse. The idea you have to click through things makes it very difficult to look for anything.

This is easy on the eyes but why not include the financial statements? Those numbers are pretty important.

Couple of UX&#x2F;IA things:<p>- There&#x27;s no hover effects on your links. This makes the top level links (Business, Discussion + Analysis, and Letter from the Founders) look like they&#x27;re not clickable, especially because they&#x27;re treated so differently than the rest of the links.<p>- Plus signs are often used to hide nested content, especially in navigation trees like you have here. If these are simply links, they should look like links.<p>- Once you&#x27;re in a section, there&#x27;s no breadcrumbs or active styling in the header. Because there are so many links, it&#x27;s hard to know where you are or create a mental model of the space.<p>- It might be helpful to add previous and next navigation once you&#x27;re inside one of the nested pages, instead of requiring people to go back out to the main page.

Very cool! I remember circa 2007 using some awful service for S-1 queries at a law firm, I think we paid like $250 per search. The same data was available for free, but this service presented it in slightly more readable form. Given our billing rate, this expenditure somehow made sense (or we were able to justify it anyway).

It would be great if you can also generate TLDR; for each section and put it at the start. There are several automated text summarizers out there to experiment with, for example, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.textcompactor.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.textcompactor.com&#x2F;</a>
