Re:Show HN: (Another) easy to use Web3 NFT app (alpha) on Friday May 20, 2022 @08:07PM (#31454070)
Created it as a side project.

Build with Angular / nodeJS. Fun part is the Social timeline.

Audio NFT's also work on the dev domain

https://dev.easy-nft.app

You pay about a dollar per NFT without strings attached (like re-sell fees etc).

Is also a PWA, uses 0 cookies and trackers.

Posting it here cause I'm just curious anyone even cares :p

Let me know, thanks

Thanks! :D

Still working on it hard. My plan is to have a stable v0.0.1 by end of next week

The way I teach it to beginners, is by making them create something the really would love to create.

Because teaching them HTML/JS/CSS and/or a random framework simply 'always' is overwhelming.

And because some really like backend, others Frontend. Some really like Vanilla and others really like frameworks.

If we sit together for 5 minutes to talk about the requirements.. They usually getting really excited and seem to to do a Minimal Viable Product approach with a lot of motivating.

For some reason they learn really fast that way and start to make quick choices from the start because they have a clear goal and start to look more 'what works for them' instead of getting lost in all pretty looking blogs and to much technicall theory from the start.

Next to that, I'm being really clear that there code will always suck. Same as there 2nd project and the 3rd project.. Even my code will suck after I did 50 more projects..

Point is, they have to have finish something first, look back and than realise what they want to improve.. After a few years you know a lot of pitfalls and you 'could' call your self a good developer

Cause of 13/15" screens with a full qwerty keyboard and touchpad and bigger speakers, etc etc :)

True, but to be honest I wouldn't mind having a slightly thicker 'heavy duty' phone to add proper cooling.. Phones are ridicules thin as they are already

But even then it would still be attractive.. Just flash the rom and put linux on it.

Maybe its because most general heavy-duty 'laptop' work, requires an x86 cpu? Just a guess

Up for a kickstarter anyone? :p

Why is there no $2000 phone that replaces my laptop?

Just curious, but after the whole '$3000 macbook' discussion going on the internet, it made me wonder.With Windows continuum and Ubuntu, that can both transform a phone to a desktop, why is there no octa-core 8GB 6-inch phone of lets say $2000-$3000?Lot of developers would love to only bring a phone to work and than connect to screen/keyboard and you are ready :)This way you only buy 1 device...

I have created a full fledge stock backtesting app in Node, what now?

So, I have created a new app over the last few months.A full app, focused on backtesting tickdata.Its a client (browser), in which you can set tests parameters, run tests, show candle graphs and show backtesting reports etc.The server is heavily focus on performance, spawning a thread for each new instrument. It saves all tick data to binary Float64Arrays (so very fast) and has a structure that...

You should have a look at MetaTrader. It provide tools for back-testing and dynamic spread etc..

I have been building also my own platform (with nodejs as for high IO), but you easily loose focus when you have to build it ALL by you're self..

(opensource) platforms like MT4 / MT5 give you more time to spend on actual alghorithmes, then on data structures etc
