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

Haha, it happens to me all the time. :p
Anyways, this is an open source application. Feel free to add features in it :)

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.
Naive question: Why should I use this over CoinCap? I'm running it on Android and it has been a pretty sweet app to keep track of cc
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.

Looks great. Just a small question. Where do you get the prices from?
Looking at the source, it comes from http://coincap.io
Yep. In older versions, I was using https://coinmarketcap.com/api/ but it lacks proper documentation and real-time updates. So switched to https://coincap.io
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.
