The Next Generation Crypto Platform: Crypto View

Before we dive in, let us present how the next-generation crypto platform, Crypto View, can help you keep track of your net worth in cryptocurrencies. Expertly crafted with no-code tools, this SaaS product takes the hassle out of monitoring your investments in this dynamic, ever-changing market.

Do you think that creating a SaaS platform with no-code tools is impossible? Let's take a closer look at how it's done and how you can take advantage of these tools to create your own remarkable projects, as shown in detail by Simon Horberg on his YouTube channel, where he frequently talks about tech, SaaS, and online business ideas.

Breaking Down the No-Code Tech Stack

First, let's break down the core components and tools needed to create a Crypto View-like platform without coding:

1. Website: A visually appealing and user-friendly website is the backbone of any SaaS platform. In our case, the website will consist of a landing page, login system, and personalized user dashboard—all data-driven and built using no-code tools.

2. Database: A NoSQL database such as Firebase is the ideal storage solution for user data, including login credentials and dynamically updating financial data from various cryptocurrencies.

3. Authentication: Implementing user authentication is crucial for any SaaS system, and using Firebase Authentication will significantly simplify this process.

4. API Integration: We'll be connecting to external cryptocurrency APIs to fetch real-time data without writing code, using a tool like Parabola or Zapier.

Now that we have our building blocks, let's start assembling them.

Building Your SaaS Platform

Step 1: Set up Your Website

There are plenty of no-code website building platforms available, such as Webflow, Wix, or EditorX. Choose the one that best suits your needs and start designing your landing page, login screen, and user dashboard. Incorporating relevant information on the platform's benefits and how it functions will attract potential users and boost your SaaS product's credibility.

Step 2: Configure Database and Authentication

Firebase offers an easy-to-use, fully managed NoSQL database called Firestore that serves as the perfect storage solution for our user data. To configure Firestore, follow the platform's documentation to create a new project and set up the appropriate security rules.

Once your database is ready, configure Firebase Authentication by enabling email/password sign-ins from the platform's authentication settings.

Step 3: Connect Website to Database and Authentication

Website platforms like Webflow and Wix provide built-in integrations with Firebase, allowing you to connect the two services without writing any code. Establish the connection to your Firestore database and handle user authentication actions like logging in, registering, and maintaining user sessions. This helps ensure that only authorized users can access the platform and their own saved information.

Step 4: Integrate API for Real-Time Crypto Data

Use a no-code data pipelining tool like Parabola or Zapier to connect your SaaS platform to external cryptocurrency APIs, enabling the display of real-time crypto data. Set up the tool to fetch data from desired APIs, such as CoinMarketCap or CryptoCompare, and save that data in your Firestore database. This ensures your users can access up-to-date market data whenever they log in.

Step 5: Display Custom User Data on the Dashboard

With the user data saved in Firestore and real-time crypto data available, it's time to create a personalized experience for each user. Customize your platform's dashboard to display individualized information, like saved cryptocurrencies and their current values, based on the user's preferences and investments.

Wrapping Up

Congratulations! You now know how to create a next-generation crypto platform like Crypto View, entirely using no-code tools. As exciting as it is to create a SaaS platform without writing a single line of code, remember that the real magic happens when you pair no-code solutions with a strong understanding of programming and SaaS business principles.
