Had no knowledge of React prior to starting so I gave myself the challenge to design, develop and deploy a web app (with React) as fast as possible . Took me about a month to complete and deploy Citii – a comparison tool that helps you compare and analyze the Cost of Living between cities worldwide – https://www.citii.io .

I'll be making changes/updates to it in the next few weeks so I'd love to hear your feedback!

So far, this is wildly inaccurate for the Canadian cities I've punched-in, and the central american cities I've converted to.

I've personally travelled to Panama City, and lived like a king for a month on $1,000. That same money wouldn't even pay my rent here.

I've received some indication in inaccuracies in some of the data. The 2017 cost of living data comes from Numbeo - (apparently the world's largest database of user contributed data). But I do hear you, there's a few inputs I've made that's raised my eyebrows as well.
I see you've added a few things after I put up my PR! I like how you've added a little dropdown up top to select a different city and not have to repeat the whole thing :)
Really cool!
I'm sure you think it's cool because you've contributed to the project...
Could be a bit of a chicken and egg problem don't you think lol?

Did I contribute cos I thought it was cool or did I think it was cool cos I contributed ...
