Title: [ANN] btcforkmonitor.info - A website to monitor all bitcoin blockchain forks
Post by: achow101 on May 02, 2016, 01:19:39 AM
Now announcing http://btcforkmonitor.info.

This is a website I created which monitors the status of all of the planned forks for Bitcoin. It includes all that have happened in the past, are currently being forked, and will be forked in the future. The forks included are ones that have been assigned a BIP number and are known to be supported by a significant fraction of the Bitcoin community.

Source Code
The source code for the website is available at https://github.com/achow101/ForkMonitor. It is written in Java and makes use of the GWT, ObjectDB, and ZeroMQ libraries.

I do not understand much about forks, but this is a good place to start and get some info. You have put a good effort there...

I like everything about your projects honestly but you should definitely work on a better UI/UX  to make it look much better. I'm pretty sure there is a lot of designers out there who would like to contribute even if they won't get paid .

Heh, yeah. I suck at UI design. I'm mostly a backend development type of guy.

I silently killed the service because it was getting expensive to keep running and no one really visited the site.
