I wanted to know how my income history has been keeping up with inflation and I couldn't find an easy way to do it. I made https://askforapayraise.com/ to help visualize how much you are keeping ahead of inflation or falling behind.

Would you consider adding features for countries/currencies outside of the US/dollar? And/or do you have a github repo that I could PR against to add it if you'd prefer.

Could be an additional benefit to provide a tool-interface to educate people that [manufactured] inflation helps large companies with their debt - because their amount of $ debt owed doesn't change, yet if they generate revenues - they are now generating more $ to pay off their debt faster; this will work slightly different between governments-states amassing debt vs. companies that have debt.

In firefox adding a couple raises causes the site to crash for me when trying to add my salary.

edit: the site layout seems completely messed up in chrome

this whole morning i tried entering the data from oldest date to newest date and it kept crashing but if you start with your newest data points and work backwards it should work.

Neat idea and I really want to use it, but if I add any custom amounts the site crashes with a TypeError and white page.

  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'value')
