I haven't posted in a while! Things have been crazy but I haven't stopped working on my project, just put it on slow mode lol. The vast majority of the logic is done! Pretty much I just need to finish my styling and deploy it.
Took a slight break, but I am back at it. Did styling work on my Home page and am starting to design my other pages. Having some issues on how to keep a consistent design, but I will figure it out.
Got the server to make periodic calls to my db, while making a requests in a certain cycle to prioritize popular cryptos. Made new server/client API's and was able to successfully get chart data from db.
Very frustrated with Coingecko, their API is down (error 503). Their site says "10-30/min", which is a lie because I can't constantly get 8 requests every 90 seconds.
I am honestly thinking of paying $35/mo for CoinMarketCap. I get API 50/min & 110k/mo.
The last several days I have been studying new topics. As it turns out, service workers and storing multiple very long arrays in your db from a API request is hard. lol
I just finished those 2 features, but still have more to do.
Sorry for delay, a lot of IRL stuff happened, but I am free now. I spent A LOT of time trying to figure out all of the quirks, but I got the chart data to adapt based on the days selected.
@s_chiriac I am building an authenticated, PERN stack, crypto graph/paper trading website. I am also doing it with the awesome #buildinpublic community.
Decided to tackle authentication first. I connected the backend with the db. Created routes to post emails and & hashed passwords to the db, after doing validations that the email/pass is valid & the email doesn't already exist.
