   Would love sorting capabilities

   Shouldn't you show a sensible composite index value on top?

   Why is x axis unmarked? Is it hours, days, years, bananas?

   1. happytoexplain · 1790025392 · focus · HN ↗

      It's the past year, but yeah, it should indicate that more proximally to the axis.

      Those graphs look like an AI tried to copy Charles Joseph Minard's Retreat from Moscow diagram without understanding what it was or what it was depicting.

   is government data even trustworthy anymore at any level for any reason?

   they've fired everyone and replaced them with a few sycophants

   (you think those job numbers are real after he fired head of Bureau of Statistics calling them "rigged" and replaced with someone he liked)

   just make a fake walmart account for your local store

   add a dozen items to your cart that you use most and take a screenshot or print to pdf

   then go back in December and look at the same items

   if you already use a walmart account for years, go back and look at a receipt and then add the same items and look at the price

   $0.80 per dz eggs seems wrong??

   1. morninglight · 1790031334 · focus · HN ↗

      That is the wholesale price.

      Click on the "Retail" tab.

         Phew, I was blind (and on mobile) - thank you!

   Excellent!

   One suggestion, /food-prices/retail table sortable by column asc/desc just like in commodities. I like ordering by percentage desc to see the highest price jump

   Interesting, how did you backfill the data if there were no history on the reports?
