BigMaconomics

BigMaconomics is an app that shows the Big Mac Index and the number of BigMacs you can buy in any country.

The Big Mac Index is a price index published by The Economist as an informal way of measuring the purchasing power parity (PPP) between two currencies and provides a test of the extent to which market exchange rates result in goods costing the same in different countries. It "seeks to make exchange-rate theory a bit more digestible."

All the work, including the writing of the component code and the subsequent fine-tuning of the visuals took about 15 hours with breaks, which divided the process into two days.
