What is loseyourmoney-public-data?

loseyourmoney.online is a small, single-page website that uses satire alongside public statistics to talk about the risks of cryptocurrency, day trading, and gambling-adjacent behavior. Rather than lecturing directly, it wraps the subject in a five-chapter narrative meant to make risky financial behavior easier to think and talk about. The site is bilingual, presenting its content in both French and English, and includes a loss simulator based on public statistics along with a display that can show values in seven different currencies. Readers can switch between light and dark modes as they move through the chapters. Technically, the whole thing is built from a single set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, with no separate backend service and no heavy build process. It uses hash-based routing, meaning the different chapters are reached through anchors in the page address rather than separate server pages, which fits well with static hosting services like GitHub Pages. Images and other assets are included inline, along with an Open Graph image so link previews look correct when shared. To run it yourself, you clone the repository and either publish the folder directly to GitHub Pages or serve it locally, for example with Python's simple built in HTTP server, then open the main HTML file in a browser. Because everything is static, no database or server-side code needs to be set up. If you want to adapt the project, most of what you would change lives directly in the HTML and JavaScript files: the French and English text, the chapter content, the currency labels, and the light and dark theme colors. The README notes that keeping the single-page structure intact matters, since the hash-based navigation depends on it. The project is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 license.
