I have tried countless apps in my web3 journey. Here's a list of my top 5 apps I use every day, from NFT accounting to my favorite Wallet !FamilyBuilt by @benjitaylor and acquired by @avara (aave + lens) @Family is the best mobile wallet. That's it. The UX is amazing, everything is easy to understand, easy to do, and oh so beautiful.Look at how fluid it is 😍 It's also packed with very interesting features (goodbye metamask) Family @family Messaging has arrived in Family! Engage in end-to-end encrypted chats with any wallet address, powered by @xmtp_ . Send text, voice, images, and video messages. Save media, customize your chats, and easily send transactions directly within conversations. 466 21:52 β€’ 14 Mar 2024 Why I love Family: It's packed with great features and amazing UX. Simple, just works flawlessly.MetabaseI've already mentioned in a few posts that I use @metabase to visualize all the data I have (collectors, sales, churn, taxes, etc.) But I've never said why:Data is invaluable, ex: How can collectors bid on your work if they're sleeping while the auction ends ? Wouldn't happen if you knew the timezones your main collector base is in.OWN your Data. Data is 21st Century's gold. Keep your gold at home. ex: Metabase (and NocoDB) can help you store data (it's like a big Excel file, but better, and allows easy visualization) Here's how I use Metabase to track my revenue from sale to bank (makes audits so much easier btw):Why I love Metabase: It can be self-hosted (no internet needed) and makes it easy to graph your dataArkhamSo, where does this Metabase data come from? I tried many websites to get data, and Arkham has the best data in my opinion:It's spam-free (can be filtered)It has metadata attached (like the wallet's Opensea/Twitter username)It has only "financial" transactions, meaning it's perfect for accounting (no contract deployments etc.)How I use Arkham to retrieve transaction dataWhy I love Arkham: handles spam filtering for you, and keeps only financial transactions. AI based tagging of wallets is very cool too. (They also have an API for easy bulk downloads)ArdriveArdrive (and its competitor Akord), is the best tool for artists to put their art on arweave (or even update existing NFTs wink wink KnownOrigin)404 on the transaction took 2 minutes to resolve, but the rest was really fast !Why I love Ardrive: It's basically Google Drive for Arweave. Easy to use, cheap, relatively fast !BitwardenDon't lie to me. I know you store your seed phrase inside a .txt on your desktop. Today this ends. Today you download Bitwarden (or Vaultwarden if you want to self-host it like me) and store your seed phrase there (or even better you buy a Hardware Wallet)Don't store your private keys/seedphrase in unencrypted files anymore. Please.Why I love Bitwarden: It has every password manager feature you might need, it's open-source and self-hostable (via Vaultwarden). Do I need to say more ?The following part of the newsletter is exclusively for subscribers, they get to see the tweets I bookmarked this week !Exceptionally this week, everyone has access to my bookmarks ! πŸ˜‹ Eli Scheinman @eli_schein No one will believe this has artistic merit if we keep displaying work like this: 286 21:39 β€’ 16 Sept 2024 BrendanEich @BrendanEich Wow.
