Cryptonite

Project Overview

This is a simple website built completely from React.js for the cryptocurrency noob. Some of the features of this website are:

• Frequently Asked Questions about Cryptocurrency.
• Latest articles,videos and podcasts about cryptocurrency and 3 of the most popular cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin,Ethereum and Litecoin).
• Graph displaying the fluctuation of the cryptocurrencies price over the last 7 days.
• Statistics like market cap, 24 hour volume and 24 hour change for each crypto currency.

I decided to build a website as I can exhibit basic React and development skills. I use create-react-app for the project setup and the project was deployed on Netlify. Some of the lessons I learnt during this project are:

• SASS, specifically how to use variables, mixins and nesting.
• Using Immer to work with an immutable state.
• Building custom components like an accordion, responsive navbar, loading skeletons, etc..
• How to work with public APIs. For the latest articles I used the GNews API, for videos I used the Youtube API and for podcasts I used the Apple Music search API.
• Building custom modals with React portals.
• Building beautiful graphs with recharts.
• Building custom slider with the help of react-slick.
• And much more...

I've also designed this website myself and if you would like to check out my Figma design, you can click here.
