Thanks @vacom13, great work. A few small adjustments to make, then this should be good to merge.

[vacom13]

Okay. I will work on it.

[benbusby]

Awesome, looks good. Thanks again!

@benbusby I want to level up helping 😅. For now, been doing uk beginner level stuff. Well I am a newbie but I want to learn so how else can I contribute or are there resources u could refer to me?

@vacom13 the work you've been doing has been great, and super helpful, even if it might feel like beginner level stuff. If you want to contribute more, you can always look through the available issues and just start picking any that sound interesting to you. There's a few items that come to mind that might be a bit more difficult, but would definitely be well received by users I think, such as:

• Allow defining a list of proxy connections instead of just one, and cycling through them if any are blocked by Captcha
  • See [FEATURE] Multiple Proxies #383 (would need to factor in both latency and availability -- low latency but blocked by Captcha proxies would need to be skipped)
  • Would also need to ensure that this doesn't hinder app performance too much.
• Adding "nice to have" features to the results view. These all require some sort of integration with an external service, so you'd need to be careful with how you're implementing it. Things like ratelimiting would need to be investigated prior to implementation.
  • Show hours for a business if that's the first result (see [FEATURE] Add "hours" ranges to Place result #301)
  • Implement a more full featured currency conversion (see [FEATURE] Currency conversion #129) -- this one is closed, but I'd be willing to re-open if there's a straightforward way to implement without requiring a third party JS library or something like that. Ideally it would be a new endpoint within Whoogle for converting currency, with a regex to detect if the search is related to currency. I'm thinking /convert?from=usd&to=gbp&amount=1.99, with a really simple UI embedded as the first result, similar to what you did for the "My IP" card

I can try thinking of other things, but it depends on what your interests are. Like I said, I'm happy to assign any of the available issues to you. You're doing great with contributing so far, it's been nice having someone else around to help clear out the backlog of issues 😄

You could also look into deploying to other services that users have requested in the past, seen here: #62

Those might feel a bit too simple, but provide a lot of value for people who have preferred deployment environments that aren't being addressed. One of the core benefits of Whoogle (imo) is the ease of deployment, so the more support for other deployment options, the better.

Okay. Great. I will just look into the issues then and try to figure stuff out on the go I guess. For now, I have been busy with a couple of things, will look at them asap @benbusby.

@benbusby I was thinking of maybe giving the implementation of the full currency conversion a try. Something like what google does right? I can use like my own javascript tho right?
