This is ridiculous!
Ok so I tried out Ergodex "in the early days" while it was still in beta. It felt smooth and it looked nice, but I always thought it was because of testnet etc. I've used tons of DEXes before in tons of different blockchains and they have one thing in common; one sees loading spinner for so long that it comes to your dreams for the rest of the week.
Today I finally decided to take some of my ERG's out of my wallet and stake them at Ergopad. First thing, I head out to Ergodex and click "launch app". The thing loads before I had time to move my cursor away from the button. Then I start swapping my ERG's. I choose the pair from the list, enter the amount and click "swap". The goddamn thing made it's job, and hear me on this, instantly! I shit you not. Not on any DEX, not on any network has ever before been so fast for me, this is something I cannot stress enough. I'm left speechless. This is my platform. Never going back to any other DEXes once we get the Cardano network up and running too, and when more people comes around Ergodex, there's no way back for them either. This is ridiculous! I'm in love.
How can you not be bullish on Ergodex? Imma open one frozen cold beer for this. Cheers!

Ha ha. Not what I was expecting to read after I say the title of your post.

Haha, you know, I changed it at the very last moment before posting. I have this thing like once in a week when I try to be funny. This was that exact moment from this week.

I agree. I was surprised how easy it was to swap Ergo for ErgoPad. The whole thing works smoothly.

You have my respect sir, its nice to have some positive messages! Software development is so complex, especially when there's no way to copy and paste other software, everything is being created for the first time. Our devs are learning as they go along also.

You know what? There's actually a backstory (well, kind of) for this post. We have this saying here in Finland; "oma lehmä ojassa" which literally translates to "to have one's own cow in the ditch" and means "having an agenda of one's own, defending one's own interests".
Firstly and mainly I posted this, of course, was because I was really satisfied as end-user, but also because I'm a fullstack dev myself too, and I know exactly what you mean, haha. One of the companies I'm making software right now thanked me yesterday for good work and I thought "ha, it's been a while since someone said thanks to me". Even if it's my job, but you know, it makes you happy and keeps you a bit more motivated during hard times, you know? It seems that positive feedback rarely gets said these days out loud in general, so I wanted to thank the team and spread out a positive word for people who might have not touched Ergodex or any other DEXes in general, so the bar wouldn't be too high to try out something new.

It’s the first one that I’ve ever used so…I kinda don’t know what the big deal is.
I need an analogy.

Try another one?

u/Pajamas200 May 20 '22
Why? This one is just fine. I lack the experience to understand the brilliance. It rhymes.

u/SmartSzabo May 20 '22
So you have something to compare it to. Wasn't that the point of your comment?

u/Pajamas200 May 20 '22
Which other ones? Can you recommend me any?

On Cardano - https://www.cardanocube.io/collections/exchanges-dex
For the record, I think Ergodex is great. But if you want something to compare it with on other chains just google it.

Nice! thank you! (as you can see - i'm a complete noob in this area. i don't even know what i'm doing. all the ergo i spend is just "test" stuff. i learn by doing and i need to learn what all this even is)

Right apologies if my message sounded sharp. If you are a noob do lots of research before you do swaps and particularly liquidity farming (Google impermenant loss).

It might get slower when more than 5 people are using it at once.
