Borracho.cash - Routing for Searches/Filters and New Projects - 6/4/2022
Several updates have been released over the past few days for https://borracho.cash/. I'm still trying to mark things off my mental roadmap and flesh out the site to something more acceptable and useful for the smartBCH/BCH communities.
The largest portion of this update revolves around routing. Both searches and filters are now routed and can be easily shared. What this means is that each time you search or filter projects on https://borracho.cash/smartbch the search or filter will be parsed and displayed in the address bar and you can easily copy and share your searches or filters. This will allow you to easily share a list of projects that match a query. Here are some examples, feel free to check them out!
Search for a specific project (this will be improved to give each project a route shortly):
borracho.cash/smartbch#search=helpme.cash
or a developer:
borracho.cash/smartbch#search=jaydizzl
Filter to show all DEXs:
borracho.cash/smartbch#filter=dex
or all staking platform projects with a Read.cash account:
borracho.cash/smartbch#filter=staking%20platform+read
Or even all newly listed NFT collections with both a Telegram and Twitter account:
borracho.cash/smartbch#filter=new+nft%20collection+telegram+twitter
I'm hoping this update will fill a need such as when a newcomer asks the question of "Which DEXs are available on smartBCH?" or "What are the best NFTs on smartBCH?".
In addition to that, I tried to do some optimizations and resizing of images to help with loading times. I never noticed an issue, but Diggle (@Diggle187 on Telegram, https://t.me/smartBCHmoonshots, Youtube) recently featured my site in a video (linked below) and I noticed the HORRIBLE loading times for several logos. I realized I had paid no attention to this and I had logos over 2000x2000 pixels! So I resized all project logos, social media logos, and any other images on the site.
I also added a loading modal to the smartBCH page to hopefully at least let the user know that the website is loading, even if slowly at times.
I did some backend work to make things easier for me. Mainly this included allowing my admin buttons (edit and delete) to show when projects are searched or filtered, previously I could only do this on the first load of the smartBCH page.
Finally, I added several projects outline below:
Big Butt BCH Buddies is a planned NFT Collection expected to release 6/5/2022. They are automated GIFs of cute dogs with big butts. Nothing is known about the project creator so definitely DYOR.
Council of Frogs NFTs are the first crosschain NFTs on smartBCH. Their ultimate goal is a smartBCH/EVM NFT bridge. They are created by ShadowKite, the creator of the CryptoR.at NFTs.
NFTC was updated to reflect that it is also now a GameFi project. They recently released their casino built around the NFTC token.
Enter the Sphere Metaverse's listing was updated. They have made a decision to leave the smartBCH blockchain and migrate to the NEAR Protocol. Their announcement article is linked in their updated listing.
Sonar.cash is a new fork of Blockscout that was developed by Kasumi and the Mistswap team. They have added LNS support, spearheaded by the Mistswap team since Blockscout does not currently support ENS. Sonar was also added as the default option for the block explorer on the "Add smartBCH to Metamask" button on the site.
PunkApes is an NFT Collection that looks to be a mashup of the Law Punks and Gambling Apes Club NFT Collections. Expected to mint on June 4, 2022. The project is being developed by Japheth Titoy who did some artwork for Keith Patrick's GAC Ape NFT Collection.
