Hey HN,<p>I’m Kamil and one of the two people working on WalletWatch. We recently graduated college and have been getting more into crypto / web3 over the past year.<p>A few of our friends had been getting into crypto more recently, but we noticed that it was hard to actually see what they were doing or natively engage with the transactions they were committing. Products like blockchain.com and etherscan.com were too technical, and products like Context or Zerion lacked key features that make modern products social, such as descriptions, likes, and comments.<p>We built WalletWatch as an easier, more social, and more fun way to see and engage with your friends’ Ethereum activity. We don’t ask for your email or password, and instead authenticate by asking users to sign a transaction with their Ethereum wallet; we ask for usernames to give a more familiar and user-friendly experience for people that haven’t purchased ENS or other crypto domain names. At the moment, we’re storing user data in Firebase instead of on-chain because the current decentralized channels are too expensive or slow.<p>We consider WalletWatch as pre-alpha. The website only renders in a mobile viewport and isn’t totally visually or computationally optimized, because we wanted to see if people liked this thing enough for us to spend more time making it polished.<p>We’d love any feedback you all have! Please e-mail me at kamil@fwd.exchange or Blockscan Chat me at my address: 0x85eEF00b9a78A993359E94FD3Bcf65e9BDe909FB
Guys, there's zero reason for a webapp to only be visible below a certain screen width - if you think the styling is going to break <i>above</i> a certain width, just set a max-width on your container and center it.<p>Another tip - allow the user to see the dapp before having to connect their wallet - the friction of having to connect, even just with metamask / 2 clicks in total, is enough friction for me to just close the site.<p>At the very least, show screenshots or something on the landing page.<p>Good luck!
Is there any way to see what I would be getting into BEFORE I connect my wallet?<p>Disclaimer: I don't have an Ethereum wallet in any case, and am just interested in what exactly this is about.
Immediately chases you away with the truly ridiculous ask to change your browser width. Hard pass, believe it or not some people still use actual computers.
