Yesterday I got sick and had some time to play on my Linux Desktop. After a while, I missed seeing the BTC price at first glance, so I decided to create a GNOME extension for it.
It has the following features:
* Set an alarm for prices
* Switch between EUR and USD
* Color indication if prices rise or drop
* Different visualization modes, only price, price with increase and price with percentage
I learned again a lot, and it made a lot of fun! But as always from a "small side adventure" it escalated to a full day journey with CI / CD, organizing the code made sure that it is available on GNOME extensions website.
And as always as an engineer I found today that there are already a couple of extensions it similarly, and I could just use one of them 😅 . Anyway now we have a new open source solution, if you are interested checkout:
