  • Your favorite interface to the Distributed Exchange

I'm trying to get a sense of which SDEX interface people like the best. Here are the 5 I know of:

https://interstellar.exchange

https://lupoex.com

https://stellarterm.com

http://wallet.stellar.chat

https://quarx.space/

Which is your favorite and why?

    jed I really like stellarterm. It looks so polished. The colors, fonts, whitespace, everything is well thought out.

    I just wish it had candlestick charts.

      I'm using lupoex at the moment, switched from stellarterm, when stellarterm wasn't showing trading volume for different pairs and I really liked it at the time to be able to see top traded assets. And I think at the moment it's the most advanced.

      1. Interstellar is quickly gaining points in my eyes, depth chart is better implemented, because it doesn't show outliers, only the important part. Haven't really tried using it for trading yet, but I will in the near future, especially if external signing gets implemented.
      2. My current favorite, gives me full control over stellar account, candlesticks, reactive, now also supports external signing. Few cons: not-informative depth chart. And offer creation on the right side - I'm usually get confused: "If I create buy now, which side of the orderbook it goes. Yes buttons are labelled what you are creating bid or ask, but somehow it takes me minutes to figure out and even sometimes test offer, before I place the real one to make sure it goes at the right price to the right side. For example stellarterm doesn't have that problem, creation is right above the orderbook and it clearly states what am I buying and what am I selling
      3. Stellarterm is good, but candlesticks are important for traders for any kind of technical analysis. And there is no transaction history
      4. Stellar Desktop Wallet doesn't have charts at all, it can be used to just buy/sell once, but not really for trading. From orderbook only it's not obvious what's going on. Plus it requires installation, I usually prefer everything in the browser.
      5. First time I've heard of quarx, looks very new and neat, but some things still require polishing. It shows multiple charts, which I don't understand how to read. Not sure how to choose specific market, if list is curated, then I'm still not sure what exactly am I trading at the moment. Spread calculation doesn't look right, especially when I invert the market and it changes from 0.1% to 2%, what is it? To summarise I can't use it at the moment, but I hope it develops into something great, for example I like vertical placement of the orderbook (asks below the bids), like cryptowat.ch

        umbrel l I fixed the two issues you mentioned:

        1. Clarified the create offer widget. Is the offer creation clear now would you say?
        2. Reworked the orderbook chart to remove outliers as well as some cosmetic changes that I think make it more clear? comments?

        I am interested in hearing your feedback on the changes. As always, thanks for the feedback.

            istrau2 Yes, depth chart makes more sense now and offer creation is more clear. ?

            See people? That's why lupoex is my favourite ?

              jed I like Interstellar simply because it is easiest to find the custom currency I'm working on. If I'm going to be pointing users in a direction to find the token it has to be easy to get to. (https://interstellar.exchange)

                To my mind, Interstellar has the best UI and price history charts.
                Lupoex is also great, team is constantly improving UX and functionality.
                Desktop wallet is ok for basic things, but it shows only 2 digits after decimal point in the orderbook. It also periodically throws timeout errors when order is submitted (spotted the problem more than 10 times, and I don't think that's a Horizon issue).

                As far as I remember, neither of them support the orderbook price grouping which would be a great feature. I love the implementation by Poloniex, it allows you to group prices by 2, 4, and 6 digits.

                Hi Jed
                I kike the first interface(Interstallar) and the last (Quarx) the best......in that order.
                I have to qualify that Ive not used trading aspect if exchanges very much at all,so cant weigh in on the subtleties of each of ghe choices, but the general layout & inclusions are there & what I like(and dont scare me off?).
                U all are doong wonderful work!

                  I think that Interstellar has one of the best interfaces

                  Quarx looks very good. It conjures up thoughts of a good future

                    jed I couldn't open Lupoex and Stellarterm, but among other three I like the front page of Quarx, but in general, I prefer text on the white background, so I would opt for Foxlet wallet. Its layout is sort of trustworthy

                      I see that Quarx interface is more attractive judging from the answers above.
