Hi everyone!

Monedas is my first web app. Although still very bare bones, the idea is to use different data points to explore crypto assets.

Like I say in the about page: "I think crypto assets are a different animal. Instead of looking at projects solely by traditional standards (like we look at equities), there should be more information on the code itself. Being that the important projects are protocols vs businesses that use blockchain, I believe data points on the code base should be considered.

With that said, I don't think commits, repo age or any one data point is a good determinant for the quality of the project. I do believe that, at the very least, it can signal something interesting. For example, a $X00M project with little to no activity on the repository should raise some flags."

You can find more on how I went from nothing to now here: https://twitter.com/espitia7/status/918260378777407488

Feedback is welcome :) !

    Not sure why this post isn't upvoted to high heavens (HN is generally very anti crypto lately) but what you've made is absolute gold and something I will consider looking at for my future crypto investments.
