Show HN: I made a currency convertor I always wanted (opens in new tab)

I built this currency converter because most others make it cumbersome to switch currencies or only support one-to-one conversions. It’s built with Next.js, OriginUI, and TailwindCSS for a fast, minimalist experience. Any feedback on performance, design, or new features is welcome—thanks for checking it out!

The currencies in the description of the exchange rates appear to be swapped. It also doesn't allow to easily select and copy it out (had to press Ctrl+C while still selecting). Otherwise it's looking good :)

thanks so much for the feedback! i will fix the rates part. but i didn't get the copy paste part, what were you really trying to copy paste?

I wanted to copy out the "1 EUR = 0.961498 USD" part but once I end the selection (by releasing the mouse button) it selects the currency tile making the text selection go away.

I think a solution could be to make it non-selectable (as it works like an app) and instead provide a button to copy the information to the clipboard.
