Good timing, BTC dropped from 1080€ to ~900€ today :-)
I don't know if it's just a problem with my windows 10 installation but the currency (USD, EUR etc.) dropdown is not clickable. With tab- and arrow-keys I can switch to EUR.
LOL, believe or not I was thinking of building a similar app (only for bitcoin), also FOSS, also simple drop-down from the menu bar with https://github.com/maxogden/menubar as base...
But my idea included react-stockcharts or react-sparklines... :P
This is cool, but I wish coincap.io was more transparent about their data sourcing. Which exchange(s) is/are they sourcing from? This data can't be coming from ShapeShift (the owners of coincap.io), since prices on coincap.io are in USD while you cannot trade in fiat whatsoever on Shapeshift.
I thought of building this to keep an eye on prices without any efforts from the menu bar. So with no clicks, I can see current BTC price and I can filter out cryptocurrency of my interest with just 1 click. Also, it runs in background so that keeps 1 less tab open in my browser.
Plus, I am extending this app to accommodate tracking of holdings, so that would be another reason to use it on desktop.
