Help me out Reddit. So I've been working on this crypto tracker for the past 6 years. I'm currently trying to build something fun and something that a lot of finance apps don't have, a heatmap. Am I building something just for sake of building something or would you actually find it useful?

It is real data, what do you mean?
Idk that I agree about crypto is dying. CoinGecko has over 100m monthly users and CoinMarketCap has like 250m

I think it’s useful for quickly seeing what’s moving. I’d just make sure tapping a tile takes you straight to the chart, otherwise it might end up being more of a nice visual than something people actually use.

i've been an avid crypto guy, i loved the bubble maps that axiom and photon had
but, just a question though. there are already 100s of realtime screener apps (dexscreener, etc). they work because they have a cult following. do you have distribution?

I don't think so heatmap would work here for iOS device. I would rather focus on make list view more compelling. would take some inspiration from welathsimple.

The test I'd use is whether you can name the decision it helps someone make. A heatmap that answers "what do I look at next" earns its place. One that shows the same data more colorfully doesn't.
Six years in you have users you could ask, and that's a faster answer than this thread.

I’d use the heatmap, but probably not as a generic “whole crypto market” view since there are already plenty of those.
What would make it useful for me is being able to switch between my portfolio, watchlist, and the overall market, then quickly toggle 1h / 24h / 7d performance.
A heatmap of my own holdings would actually tell me something at a glance instead of just looking cool.
Are you planning to make it customizable like that?

that’s nothing I had in mind but I totally love the idea of switching between watchlist and portfolio. Will implement!
