Topic: [Ann] Cryptowatch.com (Read 2303 times)

Site's discontinued for the time being.  But I m open for any suggestions. The domain may also be sold for the right price.

What is status of the project?

Apologies about the recent downtime. Site's now up and running again.

Alpha version 0.02 of cryptowatch.com is now active.

** Improved responsive design

M a i n  f e a t u r e s:

-- Added loading graphics
-- More readable fonts
-- Dynamic text size depending on window/screen size.
-- Fuzzy timestamps, so you can see when your browser last received market updates.
-- User friendly highlighting of active row. Move your mouse over a row to see it in action.

** Content changes

-- Added 4 more bitcoin markets
-- Removed Ripple markets.

Cryptowatch.com is now only listing proper decentralized crypto currencies.

The target users for the site now are those who wants to just check the Bitcoin or Litecoin price, you could also leave the site up in a browser-tab or on a free monitor, as prices will automatically update.

Any feature suggestions are welcome.

PS: The site is still in an early stage. More updates will come in the near future.

Note that bitcoin prices for LakeBTC is currently unavailable at cryptowatch.com. There's been some changes to their site/api, and we're currently working on fixing it on our end. We're also working on the next version (Alpha 0.2) of the site, which will support automatically updating fuzzy timestamps, which will give the visitor more detailed information about when a price was last updated.

Thank you to all visitors to cryptowatch.com, and don't hesitate to give any feedback.

Edit: The issue is now resolved.

Seems to be working well, good work!

Announcing cryptowatch.com.

Site address: http://cryptowatch.com

Features:
* The best domain!
* Responsive design, should look good no matter your device and size of its screen. Try it on your mobile!
* Market info for three different cryptocoins, currently Bitcoin, Ripple and Litecoin, with 5 markets in each.
* Datatables, switch easy between markets (click on market tab), and sort any column in ascending or descending order.
* Websockets, updates will be pushed to your web-client automatically. (updates ca. every 5 minutes)
* Based in Europe.
* Privacy. (no google, facebook, twitter or adnetwork scripts)

Note this is an alpha 0.1 release, and as such there might be quirks, and all feedback is valued.

The team:
*Genuine and long term bitcoin involvement since 2011.

Additionally, we're running a full bitcoin node on a 2x1gbit connection, feel free to use it as a an euro seed node.

Vision:
* Run a node as long as bitcoin is viable.
* Make our site a very good crypto market information and statistics source.
* Be a positive contributor in the bitcoin community long term.

Again, please note this is an alpha 0.1 release, and despite the content being sparse, it took quite some time to put
everything together as most work is "behind the scenes" as such there might be quirks, and all feedback is greatly
valued and will be taken into consideration.

The site is not VC-backed, and ideally we'd like to keep it that way, but we're always open for talks with any dev
or investor that might be interested.
