This seems like a fun side project idea honestly - can I ask what’s most broken and which great features are missing? I took a quick look and there is a official Goodreads API that you can use to pull titles from people’s accounts (once the

Haha I did a very similar thing for mine - it was using these to replace clock in systems for hourly workers, no more need to clock in or out, the app would auto detect when you entered/left the building

Unsure about the others but for (2), no. These beacons use low energy Bluetooth so when the app finds a beacon with just Bluetooth (which doesn’t require explicit permission afaik) it can simply report back with that - presumably the owner

Yep, but as the other commentator pointed out, you need to take all the ether at once. So if you wanted to charge 0.1 ETH a month for 6 months, you would need to take 0.6 ETH up front into the contract, which kind of defeats the whole point

Awesome! I'd love to hear more about the ideas and how I can implement this best to help. If you have the time, my e-mail is in my profile :)

Ah good call - I will definitely be switching to either strings or, as another commenter pointed out, BigNumber. Thanks for catching this!

I should also point out that Etherglade can also be "attached" to a button on your website and then when the button is clicked, the UI will show up in a modal!

Oh interesting! Thanks for the link - will definitely be following that, I think it's a really good idea. My one fear is that some websites will try to trick users with dark patterns that their purchase is 1 time but will actually be a

Yes, that's exactly how it works! Once you paste in the ABI, you can pass in a function name and any parameters to Etherglade and the UI will reflect that :) See the docs here: https://etherglade.readme.io/docs/sma

It's a bit hard to do currently - there's no "pull" support for any Ethereum wallets right now, so the user has to approve every request manually and usually has to be on the site for the site to even make the request. H

I made a spreadsheet to figure this out and the reason I dont mention that risk more is that is only at risk of happening after around 900 tokens are sold - until then the contract will always enough ETH. If 900 tokens are sold, the contrac
