Stock-And-Crypto-Tracker (Front end)

View the backend here.

A full stack web application that shows real-time prices of various stocks and cryptocurrencies. It does this by making GET requests to the Spring back end every 5 seconds, which web scrapes various websites to return the ticker's current and historic prices. The user can add or remove any ticker and can drag and drop them around.

This application is a work in progress.

The back end will scrape the web for the real-time prices.
