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.

Installation

Get NodeJS and npm from here and:

you@home:~$ npm install -g calq

Usage:

you@home:~$ calq 4,700$ to ETH
4700 $ = 39.16997 ETH

you@home:~$ calq 39 ETH = 309294.93 RUB
39 ETH = 309294.93 RUB

you@home:~$ calq ETH/CNY
1 ETH = 810.61 CN¥

you@home:~$ calq -v ETH/CNY
Converting ETH (Ethereum) to CNY (Chinese Yuan)...

ETH is 119.921679087$
CNY is 0.1476$

1 ETH = 810.61 CN¥

your@home:~$ calq -P ETH/CNY
810.6074146612466124661246612466124661246612466124661246612466125

your@home:~$ calq -p 4 ETH/CNY
810.6074

you@home:~$ calq ETH
1 ETH = 119.75 $

you@home:~$ calq \$SNAP
1 SNAP = 5.74 $

you@home:~$ calq \$SNAP/EUR
1 SNAP = 5.04 €

you@home:~$ calq --help
