CalQ - convert between currencies with ease! Crypto, fiat, equities and more...
CalQ is a simple CLI command for quikcly converting currencies.
As opposed to many others, calq
takes free-form text input, think Google Search.
All the converting is based on dollar values.
For example: converting ETH
to RUB
, we'll first look up the dollar value for Ethereum and Rubles and use these to calculate.
This means results WILL deviate from real market condiitons.
The upside is we can easily perform many conversions without relying on too many APIs or introducing a lot of complexity.
With enough demand, it may change.
