Another vote for Kraken.

I discovered https://cryptowat.ch and thought it was the most polished and feature rich trading UI I had seen for crypto. I later learned this is a Kraken project that works with any exchanges and that they use mostly the same UI for their trade UI. After poking around the UI I was convinced they cared about UI/UX and their fees seemed better and I made the jump. Haven't looked back to Coinbase since.

Also I think it's admirable that the cryptwat.ch web page is mostly free and ready to use (+ features for some fees) and no where above the fold are they promoting Kraken to funnel users in.

Looks like they just want to make a solid trade UI. In my case I had to know who was behind the tools (I always look for conflict of interest in finance) and fell in love and made the leap.

They even post an actual _comprehensive_ changelog. How often does this happen? Usually it's some product marketing framed blog post.

Cryptowatch is the only decent part of kraken and that's because they acquired it from an independent developer. The rest of their website is horrid.

It's almost funny how un-advanced trading platforms are. Nobody cares because those who manage to get rich on it can live with the limitations, those who get burn simply leave.

Didn't know this, makes sense. Least the UI still seems pretty nice almost 4 years later and not ruined by other non "decent" parts.
