Cryptoverse - A KDE crypto tracking plasmoid

As announced a while ago, I am working on a KDE plasmoid that allows tracking of cryptocoins and their prices. There had been a lot of these kind of plasmoids in the past, but most just focus on a single coin. We are normally however having more than a single coin in our portfolio and thus it can be difficult to track all your coins.

Thus I am working on a plasmoid that allows to track all important coins by using data from https://coinmarketcap.com/. I don't care actually other exchanges to make the stuff less complicate as that site is commonly used by us and providing all data I need in reliable way via the API.

Within the last week I contacted a guy who released a set of icons for the cryptocoins and agreed that I can integrate these logos within my application. Sadly not all logos for the TOP 20 are existing at the moment, so I decided to select these I have icons to it or I personally think are important.

A new feature is that the data for the price change for 1h, 24h and 7d are shown below the price if wanted. I tested this plasmoid now for about a week and it is working as expected and seems to be reliable. Thus I am preparing to polish it at the moment and preparing a github repository as it is supposed to be Open Source (what else?). I think that I am going for the initial release in october and will keep you posted.

I think next, I'll go for an option to observe the value of an address as well as allow to setup custom currencies (if they are not integrated) and having some fallback logo if there does not icon exist at the moment.
