Starter prompt

Build a crypto news web app for a small newsroom publishing in English and Spanish. Keep a Coins collection with name, ticker, network and sector, and tag each story with every coin it covers, so each language’s coin page lists its own coverage. Stories have a label (News, Analysis, Opinion, Press release or Advertisement), an author and a publication time set when the story goes live. Author pages show a bio and a dated holdings disclosure, repeated under every byline. Spanish versions are their own rows linked to the English original. Readers join the daily brief with their email and language, and confirm by email before they’re added.

Overview

Who this crypto news site is for

Crypto coverage moves fast, and one asset can turn up as BTC, XBT and Bitcoin in the same week. On a general blogging tool those become three tag archives, paid posts sit beside reporting under a vague label and each translation starts as a copy-paste job. A crypto news site built with Netiva keeps stories, coins, authors and subscribers in related collections. Every story lands on the right coin page, every byline shows the writer’s holdings disclosure and translated versions stay linked to their original, so editors and newsletter readers work from the same record.

Key features

What your crypto news site can do

  • Coverage filed by coin

    Each coin is a single record with its ticker, sector and an overview your desk writes, and every story links to all the coins it covers, so each coin page lists that language’s coverage without hand-built tag archives.

    • One record per asset, so BTC, XBT and Bitcoin share a page
    • Coins picked from a list when a story is filed, not typed as tags
    • The desk’s overview shown above each coin’s story list
    • Multi-coin stories listed on every coin they mention

  • Bylines with holdings disclosures

    Author pages come from the Authors collection: photo, bio, beat and a dated statement of the coins the writer holds. The same statement appears under every story they file.

    • Author page with bio, beat and every published story
    • Holdings disclosure printed under each byline
    • Date of the last disclosure update beside the statement
    • A saved view of disclosures older than 90 days

  • Translations linked to the original

    The collection assistant translates a batch of published stories at once and saves each version as a draft row that points back to its original, so a translation editor checks it before it goes live.

    • Translated rows arrive unpublished, waiting for review
    • Coin tags and author carried over from the original
    • A language switcher on stories that have a translation
    • Separate story, coin and author URLs for each language

  • A daily brief by email

    Readers sign up with their email, language and editions, confirm their address, then receive a scheduled email built from the stories published since their last brief.

    • Confirmation email before a reader joins the list
    • Daily and weekly editions sent at times you choose
    • An unsubscribe link and your postal address in every send
    • Large lists sent through an email provider’s API

    Your team
How it works

From prompt to a live crypto news site

  1. Describe your publication

    Tell Netiva which assets and beats you cover, which languages you publish in and which email editions you send. The agent drafts collections for stories, coins, authors and subscribers.

  2. Set up coins and bylines

    Add the assets you write about most, with ticker, network and sector, then your authors and their disclosures. The collection assistant can draft coin overviews for an editor to check.

  3. Read a story from every angle

    Open a draft story, its coin page and its author page in the live preview. Invite an editor to comment, or annotate a label or byline yourself, and the agent updates it.

  4. Publish and send the first brief

    Publish in one click, connect your own domain on the Starter plan or higher and switch on the daily email. Every later change is checkpointed, so a broken template is easy to roll back.

Why Netiva

Netiva vs a traditional build

Building a crypto news site with Netiva compared with a traditional build
Criterion With Netiva Traditional build
Coin tag archives A coin record related to each story, so all coverage of an asset lands on one page Free-text blog tags, so one asset gets split across several spellings and tickers
Translated editions Translated drafts made in bulk by the collection assistant and linked to the original for review Articles pasted into a translation tool one at a time and rebuilt on a separate site
Getting started Describe what you need in chat and watch it take shape in a live preview Hire developers, or stitch together templates, plugins and a hosting plan
Content and data Built-in collections with nine field types, bound straight to your pages Set up and connect a separate database or CMS
Making changes Ask the agent; every change is checkpointed and reversible File a ticket, wait for a sprint, redeploy
Hosting and domain Global hosting and automatic SSL; connect a custom domain from the Starter plan Buy hosting, then install and renew SSL certificates yourself
Code ownership Clean production code you own and can export Locked into a template, plugin or agency setup
Examples

Ways teams use it

  • A weekly newsletter moving onto its own site

    A two-person newsletter has loyal readers but no searchable archive. Each issue’s stories become pages tagged by coin, and the sign-up form feeds the same confirmed list that receives the weekly roundup.

  • A regional outlet in three languages

    An outlet covering Latin American markets publishes in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The assistant drafts translations, fluent editors approve them and subscribers get the brief in the language they chose.

  • A contributor network with guest analysts

    Freelance and guest writers each get an author page and a dated disclosure. Before accepting a writer’s next piece, the managing editor checks the newsroom board for disclosures that are past their update date.

Good to know

Before you build

  • Label paid posts and promotions

    Mark anything paid for in plain words such as “Advertisement”; the FTC warns that “Promoted” can mislead. Paid promotion of a crypto asset security must be disclosed in the US, and promoting a qualifying cryptoasset to UK consumers needs an authorised approver and risk warnings.

  • Email rules follow your list

    Put an unsubscribe link and your postal address in every send, and act on opt-outs quickly; US law gives commercial email senders 10 business days. EU and UK rules generally require consent before marketing email. Your list and consent records are yours to keep.

  • Translations need a fluent reviewer

    Assistant drafts can get crypto terms wrong — staking, slashing or a regulator’s name — and a mistranslated figure can mislead readers. Keep translated rows unpublished until an editor who reads both languages approves them.

  • Your archive doesn’t move itself

    Netiva doesn’t import posts from your current blogging platform. Start with new coverage and rebuild your most-read explainers in the collection grid, then add older stories as you have time.

Compliance note

Netiva builds the publishing app only. It doesn’t mine, hold or move funds, execute trades or give investment advice, and any price you show comes from a market-data provider you choose. The app prints the disclosure a writer gives you and flags stale ones, but what you cover, what you accept payment to publish and what a writer must disclose stay yours — get legal review in each market you publish to. Anything that takes readers’ money needs your own licensed provider.

FAQ

Questions about building a crypto news site

How do stories end up on the right coin page?

Editors pick coins from the Coins collection when they file a story instead of typing tags, so “ETH”, “Ether” and “Ethereum” all point to one record. Each coin page lists every published story related to it in the language you’re reading, newest first, under an overview the desk writes. A story that covers several assets appears on each of their pages, and a policy story about no particular coin can leave the field empty.

Can a crypto news site publish in several languages?

Yes. Each language version is its own story row with a language code and a link back to the original. The collection assistant can translate a batch of published stories into unpublished rows, and a fluent editor reviews each one before it goes live. Readers see a language switcher on stories that have a translation, and subscribers receive the brief in the language they picked.

How should paid posts and token promotions appear?

Give them a label that says what they are, such as Advertisement or Press release, and have the app show it above the headline, in story lists and in the newsletter. The app displays whatever label you set; deciding what needs one is an editorial and legal call. Paid promotion of a token that counts as a security carries disclosure duties in the US, so check with counsel before accepting paid coverage.

Can the daily newsletter go out on its own?

Yes. Netiva apps can send email and run scheduled jobs, so the brief goes to confirmed subscribers at the time you set. Each subscriber row stores the time of its last brief, and the next send collects the stories published after it, so nobody gets the same headline twice. Pending and unsubscribed readers are skipped. For a large list, the app can send through an email provider’s REST API, with its key stored securely.

Can coin pages show prices next to the coverage?

Netiva doesn’t supply market data, but the app can call a market-data provider’s REST API with your key stored securely, so a coin page could show a current price line beside its stories. Check the provider’s terms on display, attribution and rate limits, and show the source and time next to the number. If prices are your main product, the cryptocurrency price app builder covers market tables and watchlists.

Do I own the crypto news site’s code?

Yes. Netiva generates clean, framework-standard code you can read, edit and export at any time, with no proprietary runtime. You can start on the free plan and review everything in the live preview; publishing on your own domain needs the Starter plan or higher. Every change is checkpointed, so you can compare versions and roll back a template change that doesn’t work out.
