Case studies — WEB · CLOSED 2024

60+ sources. Real-time sentiment. A terminal ahead of its time.

BlockBeat aggregated crypto news across 60+ sources with market sentiment scoring. Shut down in 2024.

BlockBeat ran for 18 months as a real-time crypto intelligence terminal, a cyberpunk-aesthetic newsroom where every article arrived with a sentiment score, every coin had a rolling sentiment curve, and an AI newsletter hit inboxes every morning summarizing the previous 24 hours. Sunset in 2024.

A full crypto intelligence stack.

News Aggregation 60+ Sources via NewsAPI.ai

Real-time feed with sub-minute latency from publication. Every major crypto media outlet, financial wire, and influential blog, centralized in one terminal.

Sentiment Engine Per-article NLP Scoring

Each article scored bullish / bearish / neutral using NLP. Scores aggregated per coin (BTC, ETH, SOL, and more) and displayed as rolling sentiment curves updated in real time.

Price Overlay TradingView + Supabase Cache

Live coin prices surfaced alongside relevant news, TradingView widgets embedded inline, Supabase-cached price data updated on a tight polling interval.

AI Newsletter Daily digest. Auto-generated.

Every morning an AI-written newsletter hit subscribers' inboxes, a concise summary of the previous 24 hours in crypto, automatically generated from the aggregated feed.

A terminal, not a blog.
