The Creative Crypto - Now Live!

Project Info


I’m working as the developer for the new project by @sndbox called The Creative CryptoHere is the announcement post that explains the project:
The Creative Crypto will be an online journal (thecreativecrypto.com) and bi-yearly publication of blockchain’s impact on the creative world. The journal will strive to present the best new projects, people, ideas, and community developments in order to empower the next revolution of crypto-powered production.

Updates


The site is now live! There have been several updates since my last Utopian post, but because the site was down, I’ve been holding off on writing a new update.
👉 The first version of the site can be viewed here. 👈
The changes since my last update have mainly been about fine tuning the site along with adding the about and resources pages. I apologize that some of these updates are older than 14 days, but I request some leniency from moderators on this rule since I’ve only been holding off because Utopian was down.
Here are all of the pull requests since my last update (I need to improve my branch naming skills 😀):
  1. Revisions
  2. Dlive render bug
  3. About page
  4. Adjustments
  5. Final adjustments
  6. Email sign up
  7. Crypto ticker
  8. Update site title
Most of these were just small tweaks to the code. The most substantial changes are probably in the pull request for About page, where I added the about and resources pages.
One surprising thing about working on this site so far is how every Steem platform publishes data to the Steem blockchain differently. So with a site like The Creative Crypto, I had to add logic to make sure it parses posts from DLive, DTube, Busy, etc. correctly. I really hope they fix this in the future, or offer a couple simple modules to help out, because it’s really a pain killing the bugs that pop up from this.

Next


I’ll continue to post updates as we add new features! Please let me know if you experience any problems/bugs with the site if you check it out. 🙏

Feedback


Please let me know if you have any suggestions to improve my code in any way. Feel free to leave a comment on this post, or on the Github repo. Even if you just have some basic advice about learning to code, I’d love to hear it. 🙂
Thanks for reading!
