Good work. :) Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: h0lybyte on February 13, 2015, 07:19:36 PM Are you just using blockchain for your rates?
I would minifiy your HTML and then use angular / jquery / ajax to fetch the prices. Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: avatar_kiyoshi on February 14, 2015, 06:08:33 PM Simple,

Yeah I've considered adding more features, maybe the ability to select different exchanges. But at the same time I want to keep it as simple as possible. I also made bitkoin.io (http://bitkoin.io) which is a bitcoin calculator. On the back end I'm running a python script that grabs the prices for both these websites.

Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: Cryptowatch.com on March 12, 2015, 11:55:09 PM Lots' of interesting stuff in this thread!
You may want to look into using websockets instead of ajax requests for getting live prices from various exchanges. I'm not sure if PHP is well suited for the job. I've developed cryptowatch.com, it's backend is in node.js and I'm also using socket.io to provide push updates to the clients. Site: http://cryptowatch.com/ Currently I'm just updating prices about once every 5 minutes through a cron job which runs a c++ program that uses libcurl to fetch prices from various exchanges. The prices are then inserted to a mysql database, and the node.js server checks the database about every 10 seconds and if there's a change in the data, it's pushed to the connected clients over the active websocket. I've changed the fetching model from a sequential one to a parallel one where I use threads to initiate all the fetching of data, which makes it quite faster to get all the price tickers from various exchanges. The site is also responsive, so it should work great on all screen sizes. Development was somewhat slow as this was much unfamiliar technology for me. And the site is still just at 0.1 alpha stage. Thank you for the tip about meteor, I will look more into it. Did anyone of you look into glyphicons? Ie. vector icons that resize as the window the site is displayed in resizes? I see there's a link here to a btc glyph icon: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/btc/ Also, lastly are you intending to monetize your sites? And if so, how? I also liked the trick at http://ibit.io/ where the price is shown in the tab of the browser, quite neat trick. I also found a jQuery plugin that was quite nice: https://github.com/rmm5t/jquery-timeago "Timeago is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support automatically updating fuzzy timestamps (e.g. "4 minutes ago")" If you look at http://bitcoinity.org/markets, you will see they have implemented such fuzzy timestamps there. I also noticed that tickers are quite different between various exchanges, and in one instance (btc-e) they'd even managed to switch ask and bid-values in the ticker. There should really be a standard for how tickers was presented, which would make it easier for developers working with API's from various exchanges. Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: Voltarius on March 13, 2015, 01:12:13 AM Looks good and very helpful from what I've seen so far.
Thank you. One thing I could suggest is add an mBTC to BTC conversion calculator in the ibit.io site, instead of having to go to bitkoin.io to do it. Either than that, looks really good!

It depends on the job. The thing about AngularJS and other frameworks like that (maybe Polymer too) is that they provide you already with all the common things web developers will need. Including AJAX calls and even styling. But I think these can be overkill for some small projects. The learning curve may be a little steep at first but once you get it I can see why people want to use it for everything they do - it really makes it easy.

This is something I may consider in the future, but my goal is to keep this website as simple as possible. Maybe I can throw in a very simple graph eventually, along with 24 hr +/- change percentage. I can help you with the code. I think I have some code for it suing some library, HMU if needed. You wont be able to use the chart commercially in that case.Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: rammy2k2 on April 29, 2015, 08:53:46 AM I would install this if u could make the Bitcoin price to appear in the upper line on the phone so i can see it non stop, clock on the right, bitcoin price on the left.
It has that advantage that i dont have to open the app everytime i need to see the price.

It has that advantage that i dont have to open the app everytime i need to see the price. This could probably be packaged up in an Web View or using something like PhoneGap. Not sure how reliable these have become as of lately though. Last I looked they still needed a little work. You are basically asking for a native app. Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: cryptster on July 10, 2015, 03:28:34 PM I've been using this website for a few weeks now, and it's been the fastest way for me to check the price on my crappy old phone.

Title: Re: ibit.io - simple bitcoin ticker Post by: ShamrockHannah on July 11, 2015, 06:55:22 PM You should make this available for website owners to use on their page, with a back link on it. If you are worried about low quality websites only give out the code to sites which receive your approval.
