Title: ViewPointCrypto - cryptocurrency portfolio tracker
Post by: vpcrypto2018 on February 27, 2018, 05:28:52 AM
Hi all,

After getting tired to keep updating Excel spreadsheets to track our investments, we decided to create a simple spreadsheet like automatic portfolio tracker online.
The website is free to use with no log-in requirements. The data is stored on browser's local storage for privacy reasons. In order to access the same portfolio from another device, or just to back it up, there is the option of saving it on the server and load it on a different machine (encrypted and anonymous).

www.viewpointcrypto.com (http://www.viewpointcrypto.com)

It supports:
- more than 1500 coins
- add transactions based on coin price or total cost
- multiple transactions per coin with collapsible transactions view
- automatic portfolio value and gain/loss calculations based on latest market data
- sort portfolio asc/desc on cost, value, gain, rank, etc.
- save/load option

Feedback is welcome, let us know what you think.

Cheers!
A few crypto enthusiasts

Feedback is welcome, let us know what you think.
Apart from what I'm going to list, it's quite good:

1. Incorrect/bad alignment (for everything)
2. Having another column for adding a label would be nice (useful for distinguishing similar coin investments from each other).

Thanks!

1. Yes, there is more work to do on the user interface, especially preserving the look across different browsers. The focus was mostly on functionality until now. We'll work on that

2. Adding a Note/Label field was on our todo list but we were not sure if it is really needed. Now we know

Personal opinion, I feel the interface looks a bit clumsy overall. Making it look simple with neater alignments for columns would be a good change. Checked out a few functionalities and everything looks to be working smooth. Taking notes from decent and established trackers like Altpocket and its users would be a nice idea since you're a new website in the scene and it wouldn't hurt to learn about users' liking and disliking.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed a user interface that is not designed well might chase people away even before trying the functionality behind it. We'll look into some clean interfaces and plan for some UI changes in the near future. I'll report back once implemented.

While the idea is nice, I also find the interface not appealing, which doesn't give me motivation to try it out.
Personally, I don't see the real benefit that this site has against apps like delta or blockfolio.

Its a good starting point but needs more work.

It needs to be clear that there is no need to create an account.
The UI is not very inviting as it is.

I am wondering also what it can offer above Blockfolio which I currently use?

Because our info will be stored on local browser storage having to save it and load it again is a bit cumbersome
compared to a mobile app, lets face it we carry mobile devices around at all times.
