your simple cost of existing

Inspiration

This was built as the first part of an idea to reduce avoidant attitudes towards budgeting, saving, and objectively observing costs of living in young people by equating potentially abstract monetary costs to items present in everyday life.

What it does

For any amount of money, this will figure out how much that chunk of cash is in terms of bubble tea, McDoubles, AirPods, or your hard-earned Western degree.

How I built it

HTML5 and the patient assistance of kind people

Challenges I ran into

I built this in two hours

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

With very little previous knowledge of html5, this was built in less than two hours

What I learned

A lot more from the workshops that I spent most of my day attending but a lot about image sizing, text formatting, and positioning

What's next for your simple cost of existing

More items and flexibility with calculations
