What Money Is Losing Screensaver
The What Money Is Losing screensaver shows consumer-price inflation by country, key-less from the IMF DataMapper. The API publishes its forecast horizon in the same object as its observations with nothing marking the boundary, so taking the last year with a number in it returns a 2031 projection; the pipeline caps at the current year and draws the reporting year beside each rate. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
