Hey! To begin with, I will quote a page from Wikipedia, May Jimmy Wales and all editors who maintain the free encyclopedia be healthy. According to her, the big mac index is an unofficial way to determine purchasing power parity. To put it simply, this index quite clearly shows the level of prices in the country, because the cost of a Big Mac is based on: two grilled meat patties, a special sauce, cheese, cucumbers, salad and onions, all on a bun with sesame seeds ... In addition, of course, the price tag includes rent of premises and equipment, labor force and many other factors.
Another thing is also important: the restaurants with the yellow letter "M", dear to the heart of many, have an extensive network, which makes it possible to compare prices almost all over the world. Research has been conducted since 1986 and is constantly updated by The Economist magazine.
We visualized the publicly available data and put together a simple application using React and our Quarkly project.
The post would have turned out less interesting without the technical part, although playing with the numbers and seeing how many big macs you could afford a few years ago for your salary in Israel or, for example, in Vietnam, traveling like a real nomad is also interesting.
We are not campaigning to take foreign currency mortgages, focusing on the Big Mac index (by the way, in African countries there is also the KFC index), our post is a little different. Our main task was to see in practice how easy and fast it will be to implement such an idea, working in only one tool. Briefly about man-hours - at the very end of the post.
Part 1. Writing the component code from scratch
