#javascript #webdev #opensource #programming

Hey Dev Community! 👋
I'm Menula De Silva, a young developer from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and I’m excited to share my latest open-source project:

👉 Gem Price Estimator
✅ Live App: https://gemprice.vercel.app/
✅ GitHub Repo: https://github.com/DMS-Menula/Gem-Price-Estimator

🎥 Watch the trailer:

💡 What Is Gem Price Estimator?

A smart, responsive, and user-friendly tool that instantly estimates prices for precious gems based on:

✅ Gem Type
✅ Carat Weight
✅ Market Category
✅ Price Multipliers
✅ Real-time Valuation Logic

Sri Lanka is world-famous for gems and this tool helps bring that industry into modern tech.

🛠️ Why I Built This

Gem pricing online is inconsistent, outdated, and often inaccurate.
So I built a free & open-source alternative that is:

Clean
Fast
Transparent
Easy for anyone to use

My goal is to make this Sri Lanka’s #1 gem pricing tool.

🚀 Features

✅ Modern UI
✅ Real-time gem value calculation
✅ Fully responsive
✅ Beginner-friendly code
✅ Hosted on Vercel
✅ Open-source for everyone
