fin$quad is a web based application that tracks the price of Bitcoin in real time by storing the price of BTC into a database along with a timestamp. The data is then rendered into a graph that updates in real time. The original conception was meant to be a sort of trading hub or social media application where friends could watch each other's favorite stocks and leave comments or suggestions about what stock indices to trade and why.
To get started you need to run fin$quad on your localhost. Please open up your terminal. Make sure node is installed. In your terminal, navigate to the the main folder in the application and run "node server.js". Once your server is successfully running, navigate to "localhost:8080" in your browser.
