Components
The following two features if added to the crypto portfolio web app can make the portfolio more interesting and user friendly.
- Global currency coverage
- Add price alert as push notifications
Proposal Description
The value of cryptocurrency of portfolio are shown in USD by default. But the users should be able to set a default currency they want their crypto value to be shown in. The users should be able to view their portfolio in various fiat currencies like EUR, GBP, CNY, AUD, CAD, SEL, BRL, and many more.
The simple portfolio should add a feature so that users can enable alerts whenever a certain cryptocurrency surpasses or goes below a certain value. The users can choose to enable the notification and enter a certain value below or above which they want to get notification and they will be notified as this happen. ( The notifications can be similar to facebook notification on the web browser.)
Mockups / Examples
The current interface of simplefolio looks like below.
On adding the global currency coverage the users will be able to set fiat other than USD or their local or national currency as below.
The crypto price alert notofication can be enabled as.
The notification on the web browser may be seen as. (In smartphone)
Benefits
If global fiat support is added the users maintaining the portfolio won't have to user other applications for converting USD to their local currency. The users can see the current price in their own local fiat currency.
On adding the price alert notifications the users can get real notifications of rising and price decreasing of a certian cryptocurrency which can help users get advantage of the rise and also prevent users from possible loss in decreasing market.
Hello! @neupenedipen, Thanks for contributing via Utopian.
The features you suggested here are nice but does not go inline with the aim of the project, as stated by the project owner
The goal with this site is to have a very barebones site to keep track of crypto holdings. A lot of the other portfolio sides come with a ton of useful features, but I just wanted something simple where I only have to worry about updating my balances.and It uses the Coin Market Cap API to fetch price data.If the project owner would have wanted to add more fiat value he could have implement that easily with coin market cap API because available Valid fiat currency values are: "AUD", "BRL", "CAD", "CHF", "CLP", "CNY", "CZK", "DKK", "EUR", "GBP", "HKD", "HUF", "IDR", "ILS", "INR", "JPY", "KRW", "MXN", "MYR", "NOK", "NZD", "PHP", "PKR", "PLN", "RUB", "SEK", "SGD", "THB", "TRY", "TWD", "ZAR"
Though price alert seems good but that will make the PO to implement a section to input email or mobile number as user only need username to sign in now and there must be another API, whose job is to check that price in every 1 second and if the price has met the target of the user then send Email/ SMS etc,
Clearly the PO might not have interest in all of that as he said
I just wanted something simple where I only have to worry about updating my balancesEndeavor to check any project you like to improve properly so that you won't suggest things that will make the project to lose it aim
You can make some improvement on your mockup part by using proper markdown to make it look good by putting them in center
