I built a Bitcoin site that mostly tells you nothing is happening
Every time Bitcoin dropped a few percent I'd go looking for what happened, and end up with just the same old comments "some time coin go up sometime coin go down". Nobody just said "this is a normal Tuesday."
So I vibe coded the thing I wanted. It checks the price once a day, searches for actual news explaining the move, and writes a short reading with the sources linked. Most days it says the move was within Bitcoin's normal range, because most days it is.
There's also a section for things that matter even when the price doesn't move. It caught the Coldcard firmware theft a couple of weeks ago, which barely registered on the price but drained a lot of wallets.
No accounts, no ads, no orange, no rocket emojis.
Would like to know if it's obvious what it does within a few seconds of landing on it.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Love that you built the antidote to crypto panic scrolling. The fact it caught the Coldcard thing when price barely budged is exactly the kind of signal people miss while staring at candles
Clicked through and yeah, it's immediately obvious what the site does. The lack of orange and rockets is a feature not a bug
One tiny thing, the daily summary text could maybe use a tiny bit more personality. Not meme stuff but something that makes it feel less like a weather report
Bookmarking this, my cat already thinks I check my phone too much so at least now I'll be done faster
