Ever had to browse a foreign website only to leave back and forth because you need to know the prices in your local currency? Does opening a new tab and punching the numbers into google sound familiar? (been there) and If you haven't it's a thing.
The project Mainai (that's lithuanian for exchange) was born out of my desperate need to make life stress free and uncomplicated for myself and others (also because I'm lazy) I realised while surfing the web that the process involved in converting foreign prices to my local currency was a lot. To do so, I'd have to ;
Memorize the price (or risk coming back to check on it again)
Open a new tab
Type the price in whatever currency and let Google do its thing.
I'd return back to the page all the while adding a few extra bucks because somehow I'm convinced it might cost a little more.
See? And I'd have to do so for every price with two values above 30 (ok, I might be exaggerating a bit) but the point is having to do this manually isn't just fun.
