Currency converter app

I created a currency converter application that uses the open source Fixer API for currency info and npyscreen to create a sort-of GUI in the command line.

This is the first thing I've worked on, outside of Treehouse. I really feel like what I've learned here has helped me create this. I just wanted to show it off and get some feedback if any one has time to look over the code.

I would also welcome someone to help me build it into something better. It would be good practice on working as a team and getting used to using git.

Feel free to check it out!

You could launch the app on more platforms. I am currently learning c# for xamarin forms which is a cross platform application developer in visual studio. Having it on ios, android and windows could potentially lead to more users. It would also be great practice for building my xamarin skills. Maybe in a few weeks or so we could collaborate when I know c# well enough to build an app.
