We need to understand how much Brexit costs.
I propose to create a web app which aggregates the following information:
- Job creation cancelled as a result of Brexit (eg Virgin)
- Jobs moved offshore as a result of Brexit (eg JP Morgan)
- Government budgets cut as a result of Brexit (eg Cornwall)
- Research/Arts funding cut as a result of Brexit
- etc
Some of these cuts are to come. Some are already with us. We should be able to see what's on the horizon as well as what's happening already.
Of course, any positive news should also be included.
It will become more and more difficult to say what's caused by Brexit and what's not, of course. But still: this is worth trying.
As well as programming skills, we will need to collect relevant news and research.
If you would like to contribute please raise an issue or contact me on Twitter: @duncanjbrown.
The technology will be Ruby on Rails.
