Show HN: I made a lightweight cryptocurrency price tracker

Hi Hacker News,

I'm Peter, founder of coinval.

So why coinval? There are hunderds of portfolio trackers out there. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a simple one that would be fast enough, had realtime prices and worked well on all devices. All I found seem to be extremely bloated.

It's been over a year since I use coinval both on mobile phone and PC. In Chrome (Windows) I always pin a tab with coinval and check current portfolio value regularly using a mouse cursor. During volatile trading days, I usually wait for my alerts to trigger. When there are big price movements, I just leave my phone on the table and watch relatime price movements. Thanks to sounds alerts I never missed any opportunity yet.

I've been tweaking coinval for over a year. Today, I finally decided to share this lightweight app with you, guys.

Please make sure you try all features, bookmark a customised URL (e.g. https://coinval.co/1250xlm/eur or https://coinval.co/eth) and share the app with your friends if you like it.

All the feedback is appreciated!

Cheers, Peter, founder

Great job Peter !

I really appreciate the dark mode and the fact that I don't need to use an account to sign in.

Only thing that I didn't like is that I get a scientific format of the DOGE price on DOGEBTC pair. Only happens if I try to see the price of 1 DOGE, so it's not a big deal at all.

Thank you !

It looks nice and I'll definitely use it :). Just one thing I wanted to mention is that you append a new style element. If you switch a few times between light and dark you'll see a lot of style elements in the header.

That's pretty cool Peter. Interesting how you did the storage and loginless/signinless account creation/state persistence.

Thanks for sharing.
