Title: A price check website for crypto without any form of ads or pop-ups
Post by: xTz on July 24, 2018, 11:26:32 AM
I have decided to contribute in some way to Crypto community.
By creating an website to show top 5 currencies prices. It is hosted on my web server, so, almost no cost.
I want to be near 0 advertisements on site. I might take 1 tiny advertise in header.
Why is cool this one?
As a technician, i managed to implement latest updates in server.
So, it's running on HTTP2 , PHP 7.2.
I use caching and combined CSS/JS files, once first page will load, when you chose a coin from menu should display it instantaneously.
Unfortunately i have to rely on cryptocompare's API to display some informations. I look in the future to add api's directly from exchanges.
Since we are in top 3 countries at Internet infrastructure, i have good peering with pretty much entire world.
I use cloudflare for dns also to be even faster in different corners of the world.
The website do not use any cookies, so i do not have to comply to G.D.R.P, i do not store any informations about visitors.
So, not even banner with cookies you will see on this website.
I do not want to add too many coins, so i implemented only top 5. I might add more if visitors want that. They can use contact page to send me messages.
Can i have some feed back from you? What you think?

The site loads fairly decent, but i'm not too sure if i would ever use the site in it's current form in my daily life.

I think that's mostly due to the design of your site, which i think is a bit old-fashioned compared to CMC for example ( It might just be my phone & personal preference though),

and the fact that the information i get is rather limited (only 5 coins, where as if i load in CMC, i instantly see the prices & % changes of a hundred coins..

Its a good project you've embarked on the ads on CMC makes the site look "dis-tasteful". However, do improve on layout to attract and retain more visitors plus include more coins maybe top 50 cryptos?

Thanks for first feed backs, yeah i try to keep things simple in terms of design, there is not much things i can really design, i don't want to exceed overdesign it. I really want to be 2 taps to change first 5 coins from mobile menu. And maybe i'll add a widget with top 100 currencies in sidebar.
CMC style list i will add, but those are not real live refresh prices, so users have to refresh website all the time. The header top coins have live prices embedded into header. It makes much more user friendly for visitors, they can keep tracking prices without effort.
I cannot add block explorer for bitcoin on this server to serve a small search bar for checking wallets balances.
But in the future when i add another machine to cluster i will develop a block explorer from bitcoin core. I really want to be more price check related then graphs and history related. Thanks again guys for oppinions.

Your site really loads fast. I hope there are not a lot of bootstrap. The site is good as I have done some comparisons.

You may (although no guarantees) receive more clicks to your thread and website hits if you correct the thread title to:
"Yet, another website to check prices."

Indeed, i was too auto-ironic with that title, because i am sure there are plenty of websites in the space.
@jane567
Yeah, no bootstrap design, is pretty much simple design, nothing special. I will focus in future to open a full node with block explorer for website, just a simple search bar for checking wallets balances.

Why you moved this post to economy>marketplace>services ? Shouldn't be at project development?
