Website: https://www.tradingdigits.io/I year ago I published a post over here about how I learned to code on my own (my major is linguistics and I didn't know anything about coding before) and built a free crypto analytics platform with 17 tools, but back then it was barely getting 1000 visitors per month.Since then I launched 15 new analytics tools, completely revamped the UI, added lots of...
So basically all of them. Noted, thanks. If anyone else who's reading this believes that the animations are invasive, please leave a comment here or upvote this comment.
Thanks a lot! Yes, I did all by myself including idea, design, texts, coding, SEO, and now promotion/SMM.
Which ones exactly you find distracting/invasive? There are fade animations when you enter/exit pages and also sliding animations in some tools.
It's powered by Next.js' SSR (Server Side Rendering) so it's all prerendered on the server side. Also, I like compressing the images. Thanks for commenting!
What do you mean saying point in time?
I will definitely be adding more onchain and quite specific data in Q4 this year and Q1 2024.
However, I'm planning to keep the product free and there will be no need to sign up if you don't want to.
Some really specific onchain data and analytics will be free only up to a point (limited number of indicators or coins and so on) and people will be able to pay a monthly fee to get access to data without limitations.
A proprietary API yet is a good idea, but I'm not really a backend guy so I'll need to learn quite a few things before setting that goal.
Thank you!
1. You're right, it's kind of confusing. Will fix all input cursors in this month's update.
2. I may make some changes in the overall website look in the big upcoming update although I quite like the font I'm using. Is it difficult to read for you?
3. I don't use font sizes smaller than 12px for important data and less than 10px for some less-important-data (like BETA and NEW badges in the side menu, which are semibold to make them more visible). The only place where 8.4px is used is for the 24H price change percentage for BTC and ETH prices in the header.
You can paste any wallet address (ERC-20, BTC or TRC-20) and it will provide you analytics about this wallet's holdings. Which tokens and how much it holds, its total value, 24H and 7D change, mcaps, and all of that. Up to 10 wallets and without any signing up or all of this stuff.
Thank you! Will definitely look into it.
Exactly. I still couldn't find free APIs for such a simple thing like realt-time S&P500 and NASDAQ indexes.
Thanks so much!
1. Yeah, I was thinking they may be too much sometimes. What would you recommend for switching animation? Simply fading?
2. That's a nice library, already starred it. How does it work with SEO? Won't Google complain that they are non-indexed pages?
Thanks, man! Yes, all APIs are free. Also, it's hosted on Vercel so it's free too because their free tier is really generous. The only thing I pay for is the domain name.
Thank you! I'm pretty comfy spending most of my time coding the website and adding/planning new tools as well as its promotion, but I still trade occasionally and I also have some passive income selling photos on stocks (I don't upload anymore, it keeps on selling old photos).
But yes I really enjoy coding and may even take some freelance projects when the website requires less work.
Sorry to hear that! I am being pretty cautious when trading lately whilst the website is pure independent analytics and doesn't require me to risk any funds.
Thank you for your comment and for the advice! I was thinking to add both crypto and stocks heatmap in the future.
Makes troubleshooting so much easier!
Just do it bit by bit and eventually it will get done faster thank you think. I'm working on this since May 2022 so it's been a massively long road.
Good luck, man!
Thanks for the feedback, I'd never have noticed it myself. I kind of normalized it. Will fix it in this month's update.
Thank you for noting that! I just checked and yes, the table gets rerendered upon data refetching every 60 seconds, resetting the table sorting.
Will fix it in this month's update, which will be released in around two weeks together with new Wallet Tracker tool and other improvements.
Thanks so much! Most definitely can recommend scrimba.com, it's basically the only resource I used. I took a paid Frontend Developer Career Path, but there are lots of free courses too.
If there are some other crypto analytics tools or calculators that you'd like to see on the website please let me know and I'll include it in the list of things to code.

Hey everyone!I am an enthusiast trader and a year ago I had this idea to create a free-to-use website that would feature all the most essential tools that traders would use on a daily basis.So I learned to code and build it—I did everything including design, texts, code, and SEO—which took me 12 months to launch and a year and a half to make it look like it currently does.I was into marketing...
