Can I ask for reviews?

I am working on a currency converter, that I would really like to get some feedback on, however I don't want to break the rules, therefore I ask in advance before posting it.

Am I allowed to ask for adjustment advice on this forum?

Currently it is only available online, however I wish to make it into an app for people to use. The thought is, that the app should update once a day and thereby allowing the user to get the most of it even though it is offline.

I look forward to reading your response.

Sure, go ahead, as long as it's not a purely commercially motivated link you are posting.

Alright thanks! I really appreciate it! I am already working on adjusting the size to fit on an iPhone + and the white space between the numbers are being worked on as well. Here you can see the currency converter.

I compared it to the one on Google search using the US to JPN. As I played around with it converting $52 US to JPN Yen. Google shows JPN equivalent as 5927.56 and yours shows 5929.76.

I even showed it to some of the guys in the office who travel over seas a lot and they liked it.

Enormous list of currency maybe needs alphabetised? Also flags for currency towards end of list are not left margin adjusted, at least when I checked.
But looks good and straightforward.

Looks cool, there are some overflow issues when people enter stupidly large numbers however.

Adding overflow:auto to the classes top_results/bottom_results would alleviate it that or set min-height instead of just height so they can expand if needed. However then the element with id 'results-wrapper' would need the same treatment. Otherwise it wont expand when its child elements do.

Best to try to avoid designing layout with fixed heights/positions. Makes making things responsive more difficult, especially if you want to target multiple screen sizes.

Wouldn't mind if I could ask for the same privilege. I tried to open a new thread but I couldn't find it or its not possible.

I like the look of it, is it possible to add the conversion rate, some people may enquire with different exchanges/shops for rates locally and many just tell you the rate, is it possible to also show the rate?

Still like the look, but did the us to jp currency converter and it still seems off. On your I did $525 USD and got 60599.26 Yen. Test through google currency converter and with $525 US I get 60562.95 Yen. Could this been something with the exchange rate changes?

On my iPhone, seems to work well enough smooth scrolling, responsive. Flags are left right middle, don't know if that's intentional or not I'll include a screenshot

I like the review idea but cannot open a separate thread, and I certainly would not like to highjack this one.

If you want to start a thread here click on "Programming and Webmastering" and look to the upper right for the button "Post New Thread".

If you are wanting to start a new thread in the "Reviews" section I think that can only be done by TPU Staff.

I wanted to open a new thread but I don't see any button of the "Post New Thread" kind.

Actually I just found one, thanks
