Yes, I agree, the impact by single news post to price is close to zero. However each news post gives positive or negative signal to whole blockchain industry or particular coin. So maybe I should rename it to just Positive / Negative signal. Instead of mentioning word "Price". What do you think? Maybe better suggestions? Thanks a lot for spreading the word!

I thought of that - calculate impact on price automatically, but then dropped the idea. I am not saying it is impossible, but there are just too many options. I think it is similar to trading bots - I have tried using bots for trading and there are so many times I wish bot sold or bought at particular point knowing what I know, etc. Another problem is multiple currencies, for example - when so many are predicting BTC/ETH flip. Some news may be positive for one currency and be negative for another. Which is why I decided that user votes should be best source once audience is big enough.

Hi, I’m a developer of CryptoPanic. It was getting more complicated for me to keep track of many reasons and indicators why prices are skyrocketing or falling, so as a developer I decided to solve my pain by creating an aggregator of all the news and letting users vote on wether the particular news are giving positive or negative signals. Many more features are on their way, but as “they” say - skip perfection and launch early :) Hope you find it useful too. Feedback and ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Just a couple of notes from author / me.

I watch a lot of TV shows and sometimes i had a following problem. When new season of my favorite TV show starts, i want to remember how last season ended in some fast way. Or sometimes i want to find that one funny episode and watch it again.

Therefore i decided to create service where i could see all episodes in 50 frames of thumbnails / recaps. So i did a research and find some useful tools to automate this process.

I setup SickBeard, which downloads newest episodes using uTorrent. Afterwards SickBeard post-processor notifies Django manage.py script, which calls ffmpeg and creates thumbnails and matches with subtitles. After processing is done script it deletes video file. Hosting on Hetzner, images on Amazon S3 (+Cloudfront). Hope you find this useful, the same as me! :)

Thank you for your feedback. 1) I am thinking of opening github repository where users can access and explore all the widget examples and also share their own by pull requests. 2) I will continue updating bootstrap version and now thankfully the changes are not so major as it was migrating from bs2 to bs3. Since widgets are usually quite simple, just some typography and sizes, i don't think following BS updates should be a problem. 3) Thanks for design note in responsible layout, you're right, it is confusing how it collapses, i will fix the problem.

I am the author of the library. Let me comment about the pricing - for me personally, all the alternative hosted solutions (like Geckoboard etc.) where too expensive - by paying monthly subscription fee in a long term you still pay much more, than once buying any licence of FinalBoard.

There is a trial version available where you can download and test it out and see if it fits you.

I set minimal price for Basic license and on my opinion this is fair price for what you get. In basic license you get unlimited dashboards, unlimited widgets with all the benefits FinalBoard offers you - you won't see such price on any on hosted solutions even close.

Thanks. You can read more about my motivation in /about/ section.

Yes that maybe true about too bright colors, this is on todo list - i will be adding overlay effects, depending on the background so that screen look more natural in the current environment.

Thanks! These are just core features we have launched. We will continue building more useful features, like lists, reviews, concerts etc. around your follows.

Entora is built using Python/Django, PostgreSQL database and ElasticSearch for search and cache layer.

For static files: Amazon storage and Cloudflare as an image proxy. Linode hosting (8x instances).

The biggest challenge is merging data from different open source databases and validating that musician John Smith is same person as actor or writer named John Smith from totally different data source.

Feel free to add feature request to Github. Our first priority was to support all original widgets, we added just few examples on 3rd parties, but now we will focus on integrating and supporting most popular 3rd party packages - like model translation, django-hvad, mptt, etc.

Actually mptt tree package integration example is already added: http://djangosuit.com/admin/integrations/category/ It doesn't do some automatic sorting magic, but this is in our future plans.

Thanks. Feature requests, pull requests and even bug reports are welcome. In nearest days i'll write some documentation on how to contribute to project. Since it uses .less files, .css file needs to be compiled. If you contact me directly on Github, i could give you a hint, there is special .less file watcher included in source.
