Should I Exchange Now: Save or make money converting foreign currency.

Hello everyone, I started this project as a solution to one of my own personal needs and also as a learning platform. As a remote freelance designer remunerated in different currencies, I can choose to keep the money in check until the exchange rate to my home currency becomes more profitable. All the tools I found out there require some degree of fiddling and calculating every time to know how much I can actually gain — I needed something more straightforward without getting into the professional trading rabbit hole. So I built this tool, which in theory sounded simple enough, but turned out to be quite tricky (for me anyway) to build, particularly with all the mathematics involved. Once I had a basic working prototype, I figured it might be useful to other people in similar situations. I worked further to simplify the UX and added several improvements that I thought would be necessary for public use, such as shareable links to specific conversions. Polished the edges a bit more and here we are, publishing my first project on Producthunt! There are many other bells and whistles I would add but for now, it meets my needs and I hope a few other people’s too 🙂 If you want to learn more about the project, I wrote a longer case study here: http://www.brianlsf.com/forex-sh... Feedback & ideas are always welcome and feel free to share with people you think might benefit! Finally, here are some bonus links to historical events told in currency: Has the British Pound recovered since UK’s Brexit referendum? http://www.shouldiexchangenow.co... The US Dollar during Barack Obama’s tenure as US president http://www.shouldiexchangenow.co... The US Dollar since Donald Trump was elected into the US presidency http://www.shouldiexchangenow.co...
