How to add exchange rate?

[AlexHladin]

After I created an account with the non-standard currency I saw a warning that the exchange rate is 1. How can I change it or connect to some currency exchange API?

Thanks, your answer helps a lot!
Any chance that the app will have automatic currency exchange synchronization through some public API?

Hello! It is not currently possible but this possibility has been on my mind for a long time. It's a pretty big feature to add and now I prefer to spend time on smaller features and bug fixes. It will definitely be one of the functionalities to be implemented if the application grows at a good pace.

In any case, integrating exchange rates with an API would be optional, an extra to the process of manually adding/editing exchange rates. It would be necessary to study how to implement this in terms of UX/UI.

Of course I accept any PR in this sense.
