I have a passion for testing out everything from crypto protocols to simple scripts I or someone else has made at work. I've developed great attention to detail in general, especially towards issues surrounding grammar, webpage styling, interacting with JavaScript, and anything else the user may deal with on the front end.
Though anectodical, I've noticed a trend with crypto projects in particular. Developers manage to get their unique, bleeding-edge protocols to work, while their website is riddled with typos bad grammar, dead links, the old name of their project, and much more.
These issues, no matter how minor, come off as unprofessional and give the user a sense of insecurity. I've chosen not to interact with dozens of protocols simply because they could not present themselves well on the front end.
Regarding typos and bad grammar, I’m fully aware that English is not the first language of many developers in this space. It’s tragic to think that a project created from a brilliant and innovative mind may fail because the front end just isn’t up to par, regardless of what’s underneath the hood. What makes this issue worse is the anonymity culture within crypto.
When I check out a project that has typos and grammar issues and there are no faces or names associated with on the their site, I will immediately hesitate to move forward. If the same scenario played out but with the developers and projects leads faces and contact information showing, it would be easy to understand the real situation if they appeared to be from a non-English speaking country.
As for everyone else, if you’re able to compile the code that you created, there is no excuse for having any presentation issues.
