Developing a new visualization site for cryptocurrencies: I need your feedback

[whydifficult]

as per reddit suggestion, I am posting this here as well

As part of my thesis on visualizing the development of cryptocurrencies I need your feedback on the prototype of the webbased datavisualization platform I am building.

The platform:

http://beta.wizb.it/

The site has statistics and charts that show the landscape on a macro scale. It is intended as a starting point for understanding the size of the cryptocurrency landscape. Therefor I focussed on simple charts with understandable metrics.

It is focused on currencies and exchanges. Here are some examples:

- Currencies page (the 8 top currencies)
- Currency page (the 6 most important metrics for a single currency)
- Currency detail page (How a certain metric is developing over time)
- Exchange page (the 3 most important metrics for a single exchange)

I do things a little differently compared to existing charts. Take my pool distribution chart for example:


(note that all charts have dummy data)

Feedback

It would be mega awesome if you could fill this short survey or just comment any feedback you might have!

Thanks,

Mike

 I'll take a look at it and let you know what I think after a good night's rest.

Hey, who is that cool dude that gave you Reddit Gold?

I think you can to check some exchanges of cryto currecy, it have some information about that + cryptoblogs.

What do you mean exactly? I am able to get all data from the exchanges myself, they all have APIs developers like me can use to get all required data. I do have to calculate some totals, etc myself.

Does it work on tablets? It seems not.
Ah, in any case, don't forget a coin with an high hashrate:
iXcoin IXC   : a 3 years time tested coin.

I've tested it on an iPad, for me everything worked (when you hold it landscape) except for some hover effects (the most important ones like the chart tooltips did work). What tablet are you trying it with?

It has dummy data right now. But it will feature a list of biggest coins based on the currency metrics, most probably based on the market cap.

1. Are u going to cover all currencies & exchanges listed under coinmarketcap ?

2. Do u plan to upload the project on Github for further enhancement by others ?

1. Are u going to cover all currencies & exchanges listed under coinmarketcap ?

The current idea is a list under the exchanges page of the top X pages (8, 10 or 15). Maybe I'll add the option for "show full list", but I'm not to sure about it as that is not part of the problem this platform is trying to solve.

2. Do u plan to upload the project on Github for further enhancement by others ?

I'm a big fan of open source, however at this point I am more thinking of turning it into a free to use product for everyone. I am not a 100% sure yet though.

Work more on the site, get it more visually appealing. That way it will attract more people. People seem to overlook this but it's an important step.

I was quite satisfied with the visual results (I have to agree, my standards are quite low as I focus on coding). Do you think it needs more improvements or was that a general statement? It follows a "flatdesign" which is currently very trendy, or so my designer friends told me.

I think that was a general statement as this is actually very visually appealing. I like what you did and you should finish it.
Maybe add the hashrate and pool % somewhere?

Looks really interesting!

Definitely include hashrate in your metrics..... google search volume would be nice as well!
