So I'm scraping actual prices from local sources weekly. Currently tracking Asunción, Paraguay (shows $966/month for rent, coworking, food, transport, etc).
Features: - Interactive map of 23+ LATAM cities - Real data from local grocery stores, apartment sites, and transit systems - Multi-currency support (USD, EUR, AUD, CAD, MXN, PYG) - Weekly email updates when prices change
Built with PHP + SQLite + Leaflet.js in a day. Planning to add São Paulo, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires next based on where I can find reliable data sources.
The hardest part was finding scrapable sources that don't block bots. Currently using a mix of official government data and large retailers.
Would love feedback on what cities to prioritize and what other costs matter to nomads!
