I like that this could potentially serve as an alternative to CoinMarketCap, as I have yet to see a site that comes close to its functionality. I do have a few words of advice I would like to give, however. I am no design expert, but the scaling on the website seems slight "off". It seems, at least to me, that all of the text, buttons, and textboxes are unusually big or are occupying too much space. Furthermore, it also feels like you are browsing a mobile website even when you are on a desktop computer. For example, the menu options to the top left are something straight out of a mobile website. There is already way too much empty space in the page, in my opinion. You could use the top navigation bar to put the links to the different parts of the website that are currently accessible from that menu.

Additionally, another reason I use CoinMarketCap is because of its well-documented API. Are you planning to release a public API to compete with theirs? A lot of online and mobile applications depend on data from CMC's API, as there is a huge developer market for a central API to use for all cryptocurrencies.

Did you go past the home screen? It seems like you're only describing the landing page. It is setup to display differently on mobile devices than on desktops.

There are no plans to offer an API at this point. Yours is the first request for it. It will be something we discuss after the next update is completed.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm not saying that the mobile version is bad or that the website isn't responsive; rather, I am saying that the desktop version navigates like a mobile website would. The top navigation bar only has a menu button to the left resembling mobile responsiveness where the navigation buttons do not fit in the top bar. In this case, however, the navigation buttons would definitely fit in the top bar or even as a side-bar on the average desktop. There is no need to hide the buttons behind a click, since it just results in too much negative space which is already abundant in the rest of the page. The elements are too spaced out from each other, resulting in too little information being displayed at a glance and requiring too much scrolling. The main content of the cryptocurrencies which is what the users are usually looking for does not display until an entire 800 pixels down the page, meaning you have to scroll down in most displays to actually see it. I am not sure why you are implying I didn't go past the home screen; this remains true for every page on the site.

Basically, what I meant was that it felt so zoomed in that it felt like how a responsive site would look on a mobile device, which is not particularly good for a desktop that can display more information at once.
