[Request] Cryptocurrency Tracker #78

Closed bkuhl closed 7 years ago

bkuhl commented 7 years ago

With cryptocurrencies becoming increasingly popular, I'd love to see a simple tracker to track some of the top currencies. I think if you expanded on https://coolancs.deviantart.com/art/Crypto-tracker-1-0-641944324 and skinned it to look like yours you could easily get a ton of downloads from those interested in tracking these currencies.

The source code for this file looks like you could easily add any currency you want. But loading this unloads your skin (unless this is just me being unfamiliar with Rainmeter).

There's a free, crazy simple api - https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin/

I might be interested in building this plugin (and open sourcing it) if you'd be interested in skinning it and adding it to your suite.

It looks like the crypto I linked to uses the Native Webparser plugin to accomplish this by just parsing that response data. Is there a way for me to get their extension to match your theme?

I realized how challenging this might be to maintain everyone's preferences and/or build a way in to manage preferences. I went ahead and built the widget at https://github.com/bkuhl/cryptometer

It extends your themes, so the install instructions indicate to add the widget alongside your stuff. Thanks for spending the time to make this theme, I love it. Donation incoming
