Title: [ANN][PREECS] CoolStorage.org real time conversion app like PREEV.COM but COOL!
Post by: ZipReg on July 17, 2022, 08:20:26 PM
Greetings Everyone! I hope you're all doing well! :)

You may have noticed, as have I, that PREEV was down for a while this week and that's not too cool.
I liked using preev to get real time conversions because it's a weighted / averaged price.

But since it went down and stayed down for a bit, I put together my own conversion app.

It's called PREECS and it's pronounced just like it looks, but you have to add a
HEAVY LISP at the end, almost to the point of making spit fly out of both corners of your mouth.

If you have that almost happening, you know you've pronounced it correctly!  ;D

CoolStorage.org Presents...
PREECS!!


https://coolstorage.org/Images/PREECSv2.png

It only supports BTCTC and is updated automatically every minute with a weighted
price from coinbase, bitstamp, and kraken, for all your BTCTC/USD conversion needs!

https://preecs.coolstorage.org (https://preecs.coolstorage.org)



I also have a simple key-less API setup to spit out the current weighted BTCTC
price. If you want to integrate it into anything, please limit your requests
to one per minute as it only updates every minute anyways, thanks!

https://preecs.coolstorage.org?btcusd (https://preecs.coolstorage.org?btcusd)



To enhance the key-less API I have setup a feature to spit out the weights used for the weighted BTCTC
price. These values are separated by a colon. The values are ordered: Coinbase:Bitstamp:Kraken.
If you want to integrate it into anything, please limit your requests
to one per minute as it only updates every minute anyways, thanks!

https://preecs.coolstorage.org?weights (https://preecs.coolstorage.org?weights)



I have added a new PRICETAG feature to the preecs app!  :D
Set the dollar amount you wish to display in BTC ($100 shown)
and use the url below to embed the btc price you set into your posts.

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/100 (https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/100)

Then put the url into an IMG tag like so:

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/100

To generate a PRICETAG containing cents, use the ?cents= variable ($10.50 shown)

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/10?cents=50 (https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/10?cents=50)

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/10?cents=50




Remember the name - PREECS!! (wipes face)

I hope everyone here in the collectibles community finds this app useful. Any questions let me know.  8)

Thank you, Sir!  :D

Yes, and in my favorite font! (she's chubby, but looks fun)  ;D



I've made the first official PREECS update guys!

Previously only the title and weighted price would be updated automatically and you would have to refresh the page to see the individual updated prices from coinbase, bitstamp, and kraken.

Now every price is updated automatically.

Hey guys :) I have added a new pricetag feature to the PREECS app!

It allows you to set a price in USD that will be converted to BTC and is displayed as an image.

Enter the dollar amount, here we enter $125.00 for example

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/125

and here is the result when placed inside an image tag.

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/125  :D

It should auto update the price conversion any time the page is refreshed. I hope you find this new PREECS feature useful! :)

Does it do the cents also or just the dollars?

Either way.. well done. A handy tool :D

Thanks buddy :) The current version supports only full dollar amounts, no decimals, but I have an idea on how to incorporate cents and will work on that next.  :D

Hey guys! :) I have now added the ability to display a PRICETAG with cents calculated as well.

By using the ?cents= variable after the dollar amount specified, as shown below ($120.50)

https://preecs.coolstorage.org/pricetag/120?cents=50

Hey guys I just realized that I never made the automatic update version live, so if you've still had to refresh the app manually to see price updates, this is why.

The new version is now live and will automatically post price updates.  :D

Your domain is very short, and easy to enter in the address bar  :D
If I may ask, why did you open an ANN thread in the collectibles section?

Man preev is still down... I should offer those guys free DNS hosting eh? The more the merrier as they say, hey preev guys if you see this, reach out! :D

preev com or net?  ::)

Hey buddy  :D Thank you, Sir! Yes, it is also available for the right price, if interested.  ;)

I was absolutely referring to the .com and please excuse my ignorance! Very happy to learn that there is more than one preev site :D

It never occurred to me to check the .net :) good on you my friend, the more the merrier! :)

Great question, It's not like it doesn't pertain to this section, we use the conversion tools here, but I get where you're coming from. I guess I'm just trying to avoid the mainstream, for now. Have edited OP topic to state .COM  :D

everything is ok.
A discussion was opened about the preev com site being offline, I see that many people are used to that page.
I accidentally saw that .net was free, so I registered it, now I need to make it functional  :D

Right on buddy :D please feel free to use the PREECS key-less API for weighted price backup source, if you wish.

I kind of feel like a dick now for not posting it in main as it is clearly a needed utility outside of this section as well. :(

Alright guys, another update I've been working on for the PREECS app is now live!  8)

You can now toggle between standard BTC decimal conversion -and- SATS conversion. Simply click the BTC button to toggle between them  :D

I'm going to use this app more regularly and will update my sales thread with it over the weekend.

Thanks ZipReg

With the addition of the SATS conversion option I have also now added an automatic re-size for both inputs, so the full conversion numbers are visible regardless of length.

The re-sizing is a little wonky depending on the number length, but it is working pretty well for the most part! 8)

This is the preev replacement that seems to work closest to what I'd like, but I would ask you consider some (hopefully) small improvements:
1. Digit grouping. Right now, if I put there 10 BC, preecs shows 223219.70 USD. While the tab title tells nicely the current BTC price (22,322 USD), I would also like to see something similar on the lower area/edit box too, i.e. numbers like 223,219.70; you already have this for sats, maybe applying the same logic everywhere is not something big.
2. This is less important, however: multiple dots are allowed in the edit box (0..1) and also multiple 0 before the dot are allowed (00.01 BTC)

Hey buddy :D thank you for the kind words. The way I have it setup to show 2 decimal places and the formatting used for displaying the sats side and rounded prices unfortunately do not work together. Javascript won't spit out the formatted number without rounding it, thus losing the actual "cents" value. That is why I opted to keep it plain digit with decimal only. Also I rarely find myself adding anything to the BTC side over 1  ???, maybe I need to start hanging out where you hang out on the forums here man LOL j/k ;D

I'm sure writing a custom function would solve it, but for now as far as built in commands go, there is nothing I've discovered that allows me to "easily" present the whole number like $22,338.65, it's either $22,389 or 22388.65.

Hey buddy  :D glad you like it and thank you for the kind words. That is true I created it for myself to send payment info to ppl because I was not satisfied with the other options available. I don't advertise it because it is a premium domain that I intend on selling at some point. We'll worry about that bridge when we get to it though, eh. Thanks again man! :D

Lol about the big numbers! I usually don't need them either, but lately, especially with the Hodlonaut trial, I've been "counting his pennies" hoping they'll suffice. And yes, the 70+ BTC there returns a number rather hard to read.

About implementation, just an (another idea) : if the number is bigger than 100k (or even 10k, up to you), then you can safely lose the numbers after the decimal point, since they no longer matter.
So the custom function would have to only "decide" whether the user works with big numbers or small ones.

However, if it's difficult, leave it as it is. It's already very good, well done!

Right on man  :D You gave me an idea with implementation comment. I decided to create a dedicated "pretty" price dislpay, this way no need for me to mess with the inputs code. 8)

Also I have added dark / light mode toggle switches on either side of pretty ##'s ;D



And I'd like to announce here that I have an auction with a one of one piece up for grabs, all proceeds going to HODLONAUT

[AUCTION] for HODLONAUT - The Times Traveler #001 Proof + ONE of ONE BONUS! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5413477.0)

Thanks guys, hope you enjoy!  :D
