5 Essential Apps I use everyday

With real-world examples

GM everyone !

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 !

Family

Built 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)

Metabase

I'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):

Arkham

So, 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 data

Ardrive

Ardrive (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 !

Bitwarden

Don'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.
