Dev Update - Feb 2024
Welcome to our Q1 2024 update. In the last 6 months, we launched our asset management dashboard. This feature allows you to track and analyze the performance of a portfolio or wallet in a clean and simple interface.
NFTs and Transaction History
Enter an Ethereum address in the search bar to bring up the asset dashboard. Track your tokens, NFTs and view transaction history.
Transaction Details
You can also search a transaction ID to bring up real time transaction information.
Terminal Command: Currency Conversion
Confused about the value of Bitcoin in your local currency? Use our terminal bar for multi currency conversion. You can even find out the value of $DOGE in $BTC or any combination you can think of.
Thank you for all of your support so far. We're looking forward to improving the services we offer for the benefit of the wider community. Let us know if you have any feature requests as there is a bunch of stuff we've skipped over.

The site is starting to look really nice. It feels fast and responsive.
For the Terms section i would suggest using maybe some formating within the explanation of the terms. Maybe use bold for the terms in the text, makes it easier for the eyes to grasp.
I would also suggest being a bit more active on the blog. Try to make an article a week, or bi-weekly at least. Makes you look more active and authoritative.
Overall its a nice looking site. Fast and simple but gets the info accross well.

Thanks for the feedback, we've focused a lot of effort on making sure the most relevant information is fast to access. This is different to most other crypto data websites as they are designed to mostly serve advertising.
We'll try get more articles out, but in the mean time we are focusing our social media channels, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Threads. Do support us on socials as much as possible. We'd love to grow in a way where we can serve the wider crypto community for their data needs better.

It looks like there's a minor bug in the news tab that shows duplicate results under different sources: Screenshot
BTW, I just noticed the switch button in the conversion rate window [part of the "September" update], doesn't have any functions attached to it.

Dev Update
Since our last update, FTX crashed. It's big news in the space and we noticed that everybody was looking for the same information. To save time in your daily workflow, we added a filter on our news page for FTX specific articles:
Stay up to date with the latest FTX happenings
Any further comments or suggestions welcomed.

September Dev Updates
Since our last post, our dev team have been busy implementing a few new features (some of them as requested above):
We now have a Terminal / Search bar. Press '/' to bring it up and you will find a command list.
We've started to add custom commands. Try getting the conversion rate from one crypto to another.
And the much requested crypto search feature is now live. For rapid access you can press 'enter' once to bring up a price preview, and press 'enter' again to be taken to the detailed view of the cryptocurrency you've selected.
Our vision is to have a very powerful terminal command bar. Using it, you can navigate the whole website without using your mouse. In the pipeline are many additional features all designed to save you, the user time. If you have any requests, please let us know. Although we will not share too many details on what we are working on next, your requests may help us reprioritise and know what is important for you, the user to have.

Thanks for the answer 
It is also on our todo list to check out google alerts and news but I'm not sure if we can make that data useful. If there are any developers who want to contribute to what we are doing then let us know.
You can generate RSS from Google Alerts, and customize it to get only the most "notable/reputed" sources.
This is especially beneficial for the person working on the site.
Instead of adding dozens of RSS, and doing data manipulation (to avoid duplication for example), the dev only needs to add 2-3 sources, and google does the work for him.
It also allows having 'neutral' sites (forbes, bloomberg,...) instead of the always pro-cryptos (coindesk, cointelegraph,...)
Considering that your team has to do it for each crypto, the dev saves time. While adding many RSS, the worst is when you have to deal with a ton of market analysis blog posts. That's horrible to deal with

The design is fairly good and overall it leave good first impression for me. However, i find few bug on your website.
1. Sort by 24h refuse to show change lower than 0%.
2. For certain coin/token, the page always show indeterminate progress bar rather than price chart.
And personally i'd rather separate category for coin and token. For example, i don't need to know USDT price remain at $1 or WBTC have similar price with BTC.

Can I ask how you're scraping and aggregating the news? I tried long ago to make the same thing for me but ended with horrible results :/ (yahoo pipe was so great for it)
For the social media, I guess you're using API but the websites (with no RSS)?
As for suggesting more sources, there are sooo many. BitcoinMagazine.com bitcoinist.com...
You can even think to play with google alerts
Nice challenge you're taking to compete with others because that's a huge task.
Easy to deal with duplications if Regex is used

Hey @LeGaulois, its a difficult task scraping together all of these sources.
We use a mix of APIs and RSS feeds although as you've noticed, it is challenging as the data can be quite messy.
Some of the data sources are structured so that we can pull out headings and links but again its not easy to do consistently without it breaking often. Either way we are committed to the challenge because of how much time a properly implemented news feed aggregator can save people.
It is also on our todo list to check out google alerts and news but I'm not sure if we can make that data useful. If there are any developers who want to contribute to what we are doing then let us know.

I've seen in the past a crypto news aggregator with many sources. I don't know if they were using Regex or not (heck, I don't even remember which aggregator it was), but I remember I've seen the same news in many places with somewhat different title and wording. I don't know how good can Regex handle this.

You asked for a way to keep news filters between sessions. We delivered this into production this morning.
While the filters are remembered as long as I navigate defidive, if I close the tab and open it again, that's lost.
I am telling this just as "debug info" in case you need it, since for me you've handled the problem gracefully with this other approach:
Filters are now added to the URL so you can bookmark a selection of filtered news that you want to see.
So yes, I've made the correct bookmark and I'm good. Thank you.
Even more, I see you have at least one more news source, very nice, keep'em coming!
LE: can you please add (sometime in the future, no rush) also Monero to the list of coins for news/filters?

Also I would suggest you keep the (news) filter between sessions (cookie?)

In the example above, we show all of the news, tweets and youtube videos that hit the filter terms Bitcoin, Ethereum, America, Uniswap and Opensea.
Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming. More news sources incoming.

Very cool idea i love it!
Some feedback:
I can't find the Search option, the sort doesn't work on mobile tried from difference devices.
Overall the website looks great!

Thanks for the positive feedback. Search bar is being deployed on Monday - It'll have some really unique features which I'm quite excited about. Will post a more detailed breakdown about how it works soon.

Thanks, we'll add BTCTimes to the list, would appreciate any other sources if the community has others.
Keeping the filter... We're working on adding filters to the URL so that you can bookmark and navigate around the site while being able to go directly back to the view you expect. We could also do this as a cookie so let us have a think on that one.

Compare us to other services you currently use and let us know how we are doing.
I had a quick glance and noticed the historical price chart doesn't work well for certain cryptocurrencies:e.g.
For BTCitcoin, it doesn't seem to load anything beyond 1M, while I'm not even seeing a chart for USDT.
We would love to know what features you would like to see on DefiDive
- Ability to choose sources on the news tab and while you're at it, it'd be nice to have next and previous buttons for each of its sections [as it stands, we're limited to seeing only the last 10 for each section].
- Alerts
- Light mode
/Bookmarked
Thanks for the feedback, we're working on adding more crypto price data including historical so watch this space. We're also working on caching some of the data for faster response. USDT is a tricky one as it requires us to have a fiat currency to peg against. This data will come in time and is on our todo list but might be a little while away.
The news page is our first iteration, this is being refined a lot this month.
