cointop

cointop is a terminal-based cryptocurrency tracking application that displays real-time coin prices, market data, and portfolio information. The interface resembles htop's design with a tabular view of cryptocurrency data that updates automatically. Users can navigate using vim-inspired keyboard shortcuts for sorting, searching, and viewing detailed information about specific coins.

The tool supports portfolio tracking with profit/loss calculations, price history charts, and customizable alerts with desktop notifications. It integrates with multiple data APIs including CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap for comprehensive market coverage. Users can save favorite coins, convert between currencies, and configure custom colorschemes for the interface.

Developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who prefer command-line tools will find cointop useful for monitoring markets without leaving the terminal. The application includes offline caching, mouse support, and can run continuously with minimal resource usage. A public SSH demo is available at cointop.sh for testing the interface before installation.
