Title: Bitcoin Resources Page
Post by: natoshisakamoto on March 18, 2014, 02:01:26 AM

I just finished the draft of my Bitcoin Resources page, which is hopefully helpful for people just getting into Bitcoin, or veterans that would like a quick way to surf through several top Bitcoin sites...

www.bitcoinpants.com

Let me know if there are critical Bitcoin websites that the website is missing and I'll do my best to add them...

Thanks for your feedback.

nice page.

font is slightly hard to read and small, might want to consider improving readability


Title: Re: Bitcoin Resources Page
Post by: natoshisakamoto on March 18, 2014, 06:33:12 PM
Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering if the font was too small.

I wanted to have it small so people would be able to see nearly all the links at once, and get a nice birds eye view of the whole Bitcoin landscape, but there should definitely be a version with bigger text.

I'll work on that and let you know when it's done!

Hi Jonald,

Is this one easier on your eyes?

Oh right, thanks for bringing that up.

This was my first time using Dreamweaver & CSS, so I was planning on finding a way to set a "new page" CSS setting on the HTML links (if that's possible), but I couldn't figure it out how to do it, and then I forgot about it.

I'll get right on that. Thanks for the feedback. It's helpful.

<a href="***" target=_"blank">

Got it, thanks.

Do you know of any way to set all 100+ links on the page to open=blank, all at once, through CSS or page preferences, so I don't have to do that 100+ times?

Should I have a section for bitcoin gambling and game sites?

Very good. First of all, I prefer the font size of http://bitcoinpants.com/bigger.html. Another thing is that, I could not find any bitcoin faucet list. U may consider to include this category. Here is a thread where I list faucets that have payment proof on blockchain => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460342.0. U may consider to start off with these...

Awesome. That's a great collection you got listed there man! http://s29.postimg.org/3zusmofmr/thumb.png

I especially like the 'bigger' one. The normal is too small imho. In two ways:
1. on smartphones, it's barely readable
2. on normal screens, it leaves 50% of screen estate unused (left and right 25% whitespace), pity!

Ideally, you wouldn't force it into 3 fixed columns, but adapt it according the whatever display size and layout a visitor has (e.g. mobile or desktop, and widescreen vs vertical). And always use as much screen space as possible.

Protip: get into 'Bootstrap CSS', the set of CSS that was originally used by Twitter (for their mobile site) and now public domain. It allows for very easy and flexible layout & design that looks great everywhere.

I'm bookmarking your site into my favorites. I also like the domain name, unique and easy to remember :) Good work!

One suggestion. I always hate the confusion between "the blockchain" (the global decentralized P2P ledger that is the core of Bitcoin) and "blockchain.info", a website that offers several Bitcoin-related services.

In order to prevent people from mixing these up (which they do, especially noobs) I always explicitly mention it as "blockchain.info". For example "my blockchain.info wallet" rather than "my blockchain wallet". If you agree, you may wanna edit the two listings (for wallet and charts) by adding the .info part.

Guys, can't tell you how thrilled I am to get your feedback! I'm still recovering from the super late night that I pulled while trying to finish it, so it's quite a relief to hear people like it and have ideas for improving it.

I'm pumped to get to work on your great suggestions, and I'll post here when they are implemented.

I had another idea for an addition that I'm curious to hear your take on. I feel like a lot of the useful [Suspicious link removed] on BitcoinPants that would have all the links on one layer, so you could get a birds eye view of the [Suspicious link removed]ite organization, and access any page with one click?

No you have it all in capitals.

It must be the SAME as your address.

It does matter ;)

S4 - Woah! Thanks so much for the heads up.

I spent all that time on the links and didn't even consider that maybe I screwed up the address.

Great point, and I totally agree.

I updated the primary page to add the .info to both references, and also made the text bigger, due to popular demand.

I'll have to read up on how to make it responsive to page size.

Bitcointalk.org SiteMap section has been reserved on the right side of the table, and I'll hopefully finish it tomorrow.

Nice collection, but you really should start carrying out a few basic tests of your page. Ever heard of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing  ;)

Some 20 items in your list throw an Internal Server Error. Even worse, you didn't declare an error text and your server comes up with a Server Error 500.

Regarding the 20 items, thanks very much for the heads up. I was on a caffeinated cut and paste routine while setting the hyperlinks up and missed the http:// on those ones. All fixed now!

Regarding declaring error text and Server Error 500, I don't know what that means, but I'll Google it later today and do my best to fix it quickly!

Lumierre: Great video list! I plan to use a bunch of those and credit you on the page. Thanks mate

Leepsteer00: Thanks very much. The moral support is fuel for me to keep improving it :)

Forgot to mention, since I figured most of the people using BitcoinPants also hang out on BitcoinTalk occosionally, I added a sidebar on the left side of the page with quick links to every single page on the [Suspicious link removed]ite:

www.bitcoinpants.com

Thanks again for everyone's feedback and suggestions for improvement.

You could use the replace command I think it's Ctrl g or h not too sure on windows pc

I'd like it to have every critical page that a Bitcoin fan could ever need :)

Code:
<em>Modify Profile</em>
Why do you want other people change your profile??

hang out on BitcoinTalk occosionally, I added a sidebar on the left side
Your initial clean no-frills design looked better, IMO. The new sidebar messes it up and gives no extra value. It's all there at bitcointalk anyway.

Bitcoin.fr (French)
Wrong link.

Nice looking site, good to have so many resources in 1 place.

Please add http://www.coincadence.com/bitcoinindex/

To your Bitcoin Data section :)


Title: Re: Bitcoin Resources Page
Post by: natoshisakamoto on March 21, 2014, 09:05:12 PM
Thanks, Windpath. I added Coin Cadence.

Pat1900, thanks for the feedback.

- removed the profile links (i figured they were default links, didn't realize they went to MY profile!)
- moved the BitcoinTalk links to the right side of the page, so the page will look a little cleaner. (I find Bitcointalk.org to be kind of a maze, so the sitemap helps me navigate.)
- fixed the bitcoin.fr link

I tend to like a clean, no frills aesthetic also, but I'm sacrificing that a little because I'm hoping to make this site insanely comprehensive. So, I'm putting in everything that might help people, and settling for "orderly" and "organized" instead of clean.

How long were you gathering this great collection of resourses?

Well I've spent the last 6 months obsessing over Bitcoin, so I knew about a lot of these already, but the official list of links was made in about 20 hours of scouring Google for all the legit Bitcoin related sites I could find.

There are actually quite a few other great sites that I didn't find because they are hard to find on Google, so I'll have to do another big update sometime soon.

Hope you enjoy the site!

If you have any suggestions let me know.

Post by: busterroni on March 27, 2014, 02:20:25 AM
Very useful :D

A suggestion is to make it fit to any screen, because scrolling can be annoying (especially sideways, which this site makes you do). But nice job :)
