Hi All,
I decided to create this open source project which is a basic version of a larger project I'm also working on and thought it would be good idea to create this and release it free, with (as I mentioned) basic features. I think it's good enough to be used on a live server to share with your visitors.
What is it?
It's a web app/website that tracks erc20 tokens and altcoins like Steem as well as Bitcoin, showing visitors the latest crypto currency market cap value, circulating supply, max supply and price per coin in USD and Bitcoin as well as the 24 hour volume plus 1h, 24h and 7day change for each coin or token, think of it like a baby version of CoinMaketCap.com .
The script pulls information from the CoinMarketCap website's public API and makes a call periodically (you would set this using cron jobs I reccommend every 6 minutes as CoinMarketCap updates every 5 minutes).
Development:
I used Symfony 3 PHP Framework for the backend and twitter bootstrap for the frontend to create the web app.

Features
The script comes with basic but essential features which are:
- Admin area.
- Easy import of crypto currencies from CoinMarketCap.
- Automatic updating of crypto currency prices using cron jobs.
- Search functions.
- Pagination.
What next?
Take a look at the demo so you can see how the app works. View the demo here.
You can clone or download the web app from my github. Upload and use on your web host: https://github.com/freddieannobil/crypto-market-cap
Stay tuned for more web apps and dapps I have planned!
