BlockViz: free crypto visualizations + portfolio tools I built. Feedback?

Good to hear that. So it's basically not intended, and you're already working on it. I tested on the page you mentioned, and it seems to work properly. Users just need to wait for more updates, I guess.

Do you plan to add a server status page or something similar in the future? I can see it being useful if a similar situation happens again to notify the users. I guess making a forum post or social media updates is also good enough for that if the traffic is big.

I would say those are different topics. The slow load times are just a latency topic, not malfunction. Maybe once I actually have some paying subscribers I can pay for multiple server locations, i.e. Europa, Americas, AND Asia, but for now the "loader" place holder during immediate page load is the best UX fix.

Then the server status page idea is a good one, and I will add this to my to-do list, because indeed we had been affected by the Cloudflare Outage a couple of weeks ago and also by a Github outage a few days ago. Not a dealbreaker, but just delayed data refresh, so it was more outdated than 5~10 min.

the "comparison / benchmark" angle is the part that can actually make this feel like more than another CMC skin. But the portfolio tracker itself has to become mostly zero-effort or people will bounce. [...] add exchange support keep it read-only [...].
On the messy CSV/explorer jungle: don't try to support everything on day one. Pick a couple of common sources, publish a dead-simple canonical CSV template, and let users map columns on import. If you nail a clean "bring your own data" pipeline and keep the charts fast, the rest can grow organically without you drowning in edge cases.

And the  reason why I think the portfolio tracker is what you should start with is because of the demand. Everyone wants to keep track of their assets across multiple platforms, while the price tools, and the other things are not something ALL people are interested in.

Dear both, so I finished the new Portfolio logic.

Key improvements:
(1) Adding different sources for the portfolios:
   (a) as before the manual position entry.
   (b) template import via standard Excel template
   (c) exchange presets, e.g. Kraken, for easy import. If you have other exchange files, let me know and I can add it.
   (d) and very powerfully a custom preset mode. So you upload whichever template you want, map the columns in the dialog overlay once, save it and can then easily re-import any time.
   (e) on-chain wallet import. including BTC, ETH, SOL, and many other chains. If your's is missing. Let me know and I can try to add it.
(2) A fully integrated portfolio view across all of these sources. This is really powerful and as far as I have found NOBODY offers this. So you can have a consolidated view of your on-chain, off-chain, cross-chain positions as one coherent portfolio.
(3) You can make granular adjustments on each of the positions in each of the sources. Adjusting quantities or cost basis or hiding them, having the aggregate logic while keeping full transparency on a granular level.
(3) And of course you can then track it in an aggregated, seemless way. As well as run the comparisons, e.g. against model portfolios or other portfolios, to test your portfolio and stragies.

Very much interested in your feedback regarding usefullness.

I also added a status page. It is now available here (or also linked via the /support page): https://blockviz.xyz/status

Wow, amazing! I've used other crypto visualizers like TradingView and Arkham, but it's clear you put a lot of work into making this a really nice workspace.

It'd be cool if you added something that maps on-chain transaction as a graph, connecting addresses and entities.

I'd give you a bunch of merit now if I had any left, maybe next month when it replenishes again.

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not on your server or not, but I feel like there's a delay when I click some links from the main website. For example, when I click the portfolio tracker, there's no indicator that a new page is loading on my browser (like the reload button near the address bar turning into "X").

Alright, so this is fixed. I did a bunch of optimizations such that pages load quicker in general, but of course with live data, you cannot always cache. So even WHEN still loading all pages now have this "Loading" placeholder scaffold such that at least you don't click something and only seconds later it reacts. Hope that feels much more reactive and snappy now.

Wow, thanks for the positive feedback. That really motivates to keep working on it and improving it.
You mean which addresses transacted with each other and maybe with what transaction value visualized as different sized balls or so?
I like the idea. BUT that would probably need a lot API calls, plus constant crawling. Would need to think about it some more.
For now, I think the Portfolio path is what is most value-added. I cannot find other solutions that offer such integrated portfolio construction of different sources while allowind tracking and simulations as one entity.
So I want to at least at more capabilities there, especially volatiliy and risk analysis.

Regarding roadmap, I was also thinking of building a simple feature voting page, where subscribers can vote on what they want next.

PS: will take you up next month on that "Merit" Thanks
