BTC Portfolio Tracker

BTC Portfolio Tracker is a web application designed to help users manage and track their Bitcoin investment portfolios. The primary goal of the project is to provide users with a comprehensive tool to monitor their Bitcoin holdings, track transaction history, and analyze portfolio performance over time.

It is one of my first project. My goal was to make this app work. I understand the code can be cleaner and more efficient but I am still learning and working on myself. I was mainly focusing on backend so the fronted is not ideal. It is mainly done for web browsers on larger screens and not for mobile devices.

It is available here:
