Wawa Stock Watcher : playing with currencies... and Android.


How did it start ?


A few months ago, I had the opportunity to buy ETH at low cost.
Of course, I sold them too early (or too late)... but I made small profit anyway.   :p

Building on this experience, I decided to write a basic Android service alarm to watch Ethereum values.


What is it ?


Here is the link : http://www.wawaseb.com/tmp/wsw_beta04.apk
As Google does charge you 25€ for being on the store and as I don't want to use FCM (previously known as Google Cloud Messaging), I would probably be banned because of messing with Doze.
:D

You can monitor ETH, BTC and XRP, select your convenient frequencies and define alerts (vibrations / sounds).


I know, it's still not perfect (at all ?!) and similar apps may probably have already been done in a better way (if so, please send me the references), but it's also lot of fun for me and... a good way to practice.

Ways of improvement include other currencies like $, other brokers, or portability to iOS.
Please, keep in mind that I'm just a passionate busy n00b.
