I built this using the webhose api to scrape and filter for cryptocurrency related topics from reputable news sources and trending forum posts. I'm a terrible designer so I eyeballed the hacker news layout and finger painted some CSS over it. Hope people find it interesting :P

Overall the site looks nice and functions well.

The ticker a the top is hard to use as I could not see that you could scroll.

I like the concept of the 101 section, could use some more info.
