From time to time I need to see how much would cost something i.e. on Amazon in my local currency, but I didn't find anything simple enough or written with good usability or on web page without hundreds of tracking software... and so on. To summarize - I wasn't happy with what was available and I decided to put together something really simple but getting the job done.
I decided to use AngularJS, but as I needed to get current currencies values from NBP (Poland National Bank) every day, I soon stumbled upon CORS restrictions, and no wonder. That is why I decided to write Go application which gets data in JSON format an returns for Angular app.
In order to make all of this nice for an eye and responsive for mobile devices I used Foundation 5 by Zurb framework.
