investFeed Developer Diary #9

Charting and Upgraded Data Feeds

We would like to take a moment to apologize for the delay on our charting and data upgrades mentioned in the last two developer updates. They should both be implemented in the next two weeks, and we appreciate your continued patience.

We would like to share one of the current mock-ups for the new page designs with the community —

(IFT used for the purpose of the example)

We will be implementing charts from TradingView to replace our current designs, and users will have the option to mark up their charts and post them directly into the stream. Users will also have the option to choose specific exchanges when utilizing our charting feature, and trading pairs outside of USD will be included in our latest data upgrades.

We’ve been receiving plenty of requests from users in regard to adding their favorite cryptocurrencies that we don’t currently support, and we hope with this upcoming data update that we satisfy user demands. As development continues, we will be updating our users on both the platform, and in our Telegram.

Smart Contracts and Token Integrations

One of the many features that we initially included on our road map for Q1-Q2 2018 was the FEED token marketplace rollout. This item includes our full token functionality built through smart contracts on the platform, with a feature-set including the option to release premium content, enabling paid subscription feeds for push notifications, network promotions, ad removal, and more.

Our Feedcosystem

We’re happy to announce that development on this has been well underway in the background and that we’re scheduling to release it later this month.

Tipping will also receive a face-lift from this as well — users will now have the option to tip in specific amounts of their choosing, and use their existing wallets rather than follow the current default guidelines.

*and yes, a counter for tips-received is on the way as well.

Quick Bug Fixes

Fixed Remaining Company Profile Bugs

As we polish off the final details on our company pages, blockchain based initiatives can now sign up on the platform with a company profile by getting in touch with the investFeed team.

Fixed News Module

Our news module is now up and running on our desktop application. News on the home page is being fed in a general basis, while the news module on live streaming feeds is pulling any news related to that selected cryptocurrency.

Fixed Article Posting Issues

A few bugs have been squashed related to article posting. A sidebar widget is also now aggregating the latest articles published by our users.

Improved Responsive Design

We’ve been working hard on making sure the site is responsive in any browser window. Work on this will continue throughout the rest of the month.

The Year Ahead

We’re hoping to officially enter our beta period at the start of the new year.

Our initiatives for Q1–2 2018 will include but aren’t limited to the following:

An aggressive marketing campaign using the budget we’ve allocated toward it from our raise.

Portfolio viewing options directly on the investFeed website.

Integrating 3rd party exchange APIs to execute orders directly on the platform from your favorite exchanges.

Our integration with Civic to allow users a secure way of logging into the site.

Multi-language support for the platform to bring in our international cryptocurrency community
