Handshake Mercenary

The next feature I am working on is to add crypto prices at the top whenever the name or id of a crypto currency is searched.


What do you guys think about that?
Do you think the standard coingecko widget fits the style or should it be my own design by making API calls directly?

Awesome, thank you so much for your kind words

I am so glad that you like it Yeah I thought smth special was in order for the official launch It's so amazing to see the communities reaction to it Of course I am also thankful for constructive criticism that can help grow the page.

A lot of things on the dev board right now, but the next thing I want to tackle is integrating transaction id search into the search so it would provide block information etc..

I love it ! It is truly a great search engine

Integrating transaction Id search is good too....or maybe you can try something like DDG’s Bangs (https://duckduckgo.com/bang)
I dont if it is easy to code but that would be a great feature to look into,

Bangs are shortcuts that quickly take you to search results on other sites. For example, when you know you want to search on another site like Wikipedia or Amazon, our bangs get you there fastest. A search for !w filter bubble will take you directly to Wikipedia.

Once you integrate bangs you can open a form on your site so that public websites/forums can get their own bangs
For example: if we want to search our wonderful forum http://handshake.mercenary/ , we can search from your hnssearch as “!hm skyinclude” and we will get the posts where skyinclude is mentioned and his posts etc. instead of typing the long handshake.mercenary ...

And you can type “!hnscan <TX> or <hns address > or <handshake names>“ to quickly get the details of the input !!(!hnscan or something shorter like !h etc.)

Let me know if it is too much and ask others of their opinion on this on discord and telegram or maybe put up a poll
I hope this isn’t overwhelming ...I am just giving a probably useful suggestion

Ahh yes!
This is a great feature!!
I personally like a coingecko widget as it has the options to change the fiat price of almost all countries and not only usd like other markets for eg.coinmarketcap.
Using coingecko widget is better imho

One more feature..
Can you please add “next and previous“ option , my big fingers can’t click on the numbers to change the page properly

Currently hnssearch :


For reference google :


Thanks

Yes of course, seems like a useful addition to the pagination system

I added it to my development list and put it at the top. So it will be the next thing I will work on So should be up soon

Thank you for your feedback on it I am glad you like the idea of the feature

I also think that coingecko is not a bad option

I was thinking about smth in that directions but honestly didn't know that ddg had such a feature and that it was called bang. Could be definitely something to look into. I really like the idea. I could imagine to add sinpapeles for example as well.

Definitely not too much. I love the creativity and the inputs. Really a lot of great suggestions. So if you have more or want smth to be considered, don't hesitate to write it

I added this suggestion to the suggestions board (https://hnssearch.hearken.io/) so people can upvote it, but honestly I am already sold on the idea

Well you got me so pumped about this feature that I just had to implement it today after work.

So now it's live on the dev website with the following queries for the following pages already working:

!hm = handshake.mercenary
!sp = parking.sinpapeles
!hn = hnsnetwork.com
!nb = namebase

And btw. if anyone is interested in testing features while still in development, DM me and I can send you the link to the development site.

Disclaimer: Some features on the dev page might be buggy

Pagination is now changed on the dev website and will be published with the upcoming updates on Sunday.

I upvoted it just now and I see a total of 6 upvotes !! I am happy that others like bangs too
