Cryptocurrency Widget Builder

[chrislennon]

Would like to share a tool/site I built at the end of last year (at the peak of crypto-maina).

The tool is hosted on GitHub pages and the source code is available in the GitHub Repo.

The tool allows you to create and customise a set of cryptos you wish to see on your touch bar then exports a python based script directly towards BTT.

After only recently been able to develop on this again I have been refactoring the tool a little - primarily to make it python template based and easier to maintain longer term. There will likely be a few more improvements in upcoming weeks.

If anyone has any feedback, suggestions or requests hit me up here or on the repository itself.

Hi, its possible to add non-crypto currency, as example EUR-USD, USD-GBP?

Hey, Thanks for checking the tool out.

I don't think it would be the best route to add non-crypto conversions to this specific tool - lots of crypto specific things in there, however I do see value/use in your suggestion.

What I can attempt in the coming week(s) is to modify the work of this tool and apply a similar logic to the conversion of normal currency.

I will report back here with any news

Hi,

wanted to pick up on this old subject. Is it at all possible to use the tool for currency rates as asked before?

Would be a great solution to this (as the crypto tool seems to be well designed)

Stocks or Bitcoin tracker widget?

Indeed, am looking for a BTT solution for this. Personally this would be very useful for live update of Forex pair for work. Have solved it with Bitbar plugin in Menu Bar for now. But would be awesome to have an option to add to Touch Bar too.

[Scree…

Would appreciate ur feedback.

@ndrsa @Mike_Smirnov I modified the crypto version to a version to work on standard currencies.
It is a cut down version with less features but most of them are available in BetterTouchTool itself.

You can give it a try here - let me know if you have any feedback
