Hey lovely people of PH,
I wanted to build something that would be simple and easy to understand for people to see the effects on their everyday purchases; so I built The Cost Index, a live website that shows which countries export what to the U.S. and how that could affect prices at the grocery store.
You can pick a product, and it will estimate price shifts based on live data + tariff rates.
It also tracks retaliatory tariffs from countries like China, India, Brazil, etc., so you can see how these trade moves might affect inflation.
All data is pulled from USDA, FRED, and public trade sources. Not monetized. Just trying to make economic policy feel a little more real.
We hit +5K visitors in 3 days with 100k actions on the website which I did not imagine to happen!
Let me know what you guys think and I would love to hear how this could be further improved
