A new Bitcoin ticker/converter. In development!

[Decoded]

Introducing BitPrice!

It's been a while since I last did a coding project. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things by coding a prerv-based Bitcoin ticker/converter.

Current features:

- Working live exchange rates, sourced from blockchain.info
- Dynamic box sizes
- Boldify the output
- Two-way conversion
- Change the output currency by clicking on the button!

I aim for it to have a multitude of features, like -

- Email alerts after a certain price threshold
- A trend indicator, showing if the price has gone up or down in the last 15 minutes
- A pull-up graph (Maybe Bitcoin.com's one if they allow so)
- Options between BTC, Satoshi, Bits, mBits, etc
- A swap function for amounts
- Multiple exchanges
- Walkthrough tutorial

It would be great if you could help out! PM me for more information.

You can find the live site and see what I've done so far by clicking me.

Could I suggest a dropdown to swap currencies rather than a click to cycle? If I click off USD, I have to click quite a few times to get back. Other than that, it updates very frequently so that's a huge plus.

Yep, this is just a temporary solution, as I'm about to hit the hay. I'm actually not totally sure how to code a dropdown at the moment.

Not sure what you are using, but the bootstrap html is usually <ul class="dropdown-menu"> with the option as <li> elements inside.

If using php for the backend it would be something like:

foreach ($currencies as $currency) {
echo '<li>' . $currency . '</li'>;
}


A for or while loop should be enough to output a selectable list.

I'm mainly trying to use JavaScript, however some of the page is built in PHP. I was thinking of making a good looking one in jQuery, where it was a simple box underneath the value and the button, which is only visible then the button is onfocus.

Seems nice however looks a bit too much like Preev. I suggest you change your theme to something else, otherwise people might even mistake your site as a phishing link for preev, lmao. Also, what advantages would you have over bitcoinwisdom.com? As far as i know they have a multitude of graphs available.

But I like the email alerts although Coine has them as well I think, plus the prediction features. Anyhow good luck with your project.

What exactly would they be phishing for considering preev doesn't sell anything or even have user accounts?

Well they might be charging fees for services etc. i don't know. It's just an example

I have absolutely NO creativity whatsoever. For example can draw and paint pretty well, if I have an image or a stimulus to work off of. If i'm just thinking of something, it looks horrible.

If someone can give me an idea of what the page could look like with some improvements, I would be happy to hear!

Nice ticker you have there Besides other fiat currencies, could you also add BTC/XAG and BTC/XAU? I always think it's interesting to watch those pairs too.

I would be happy to. I have recently stopped work on this project due to issues with Amazon and them suddenly charging me fees multiple times higher that they usually are this new year.
