I built a simple tool to track real-time crypto rates

Hacker News

Hey HN, I’ve always found it annoying to jump between exchanges just to check live cryptocurrency prices, especially when I just want a fast, clean view of the top coins without distractions. So I spent a few hours building a minimalist site that shows real-time crypto rates with no fluff, popups, or login walls: https://CryptoRates.io It pulls data live and focuses on simplicity (no ads, no widgets, just raw numbers). The idea is to have something you can keep open in a tab and glance at throughout the day, or even use as a lightweight reference when building something crypto-related. Would love feedback if anyone finds it useful or has suggestions!
