Built a simple grade calculator tool – would love feedback!

Questions

Hey folks ,

I have been learning frontend development and recently decided to build a small project to practice real-world logic, responsive design, and clean UI.

So I made Grade Calculator , a super simple, distraction-free grade calculator.

Why I built it:

  • Wanted to practice input validation and dynamic calculations.
  • Most online grade calculators are either filled with ads or bloated.
  • I figured it could be useful for students, teachers, or even devs doing math-heavy projects.

What it currently does:

  • Calculates final grade based on assignment weights.
  • Supports GPA estimation and test percentage scoring.
  • Works well on mobile .

What I need help with:

I’d really love some feedback on:

  • Is the UI clear enough?
  • Any layout bugs, especially on mobile?
  • Any features you’d expect in a tool like this?
  • Would it make sense to turn this into a widget or PWA?

Appreciate any thoughts — even small ones!
Thanks in advance :folded_hands:

Looks great to me

When at University, most classes I took ended up having a grading curve applied because the class as a whole did so poorly, this meant if the class average was a 60% (which is 10 points less than average which is 70%), the teacher had to adjust all scores up so that the average was an average of 70%. You should add a feature that handles that type of situation.

I personally do not see this as monetizable, that is why all the others as mentioned are ad based.

The reason for this is you can create a simple tool like this and monetize it through ad revenue, or you can launch it as a way to draw organic search traffic to your actual product to help boost potential purchases/subscriptions of your main product.

If the end goal is to just give it away for free, keep it as a PWA, but if you are expecting to earn from it in some way, I’d suggest utilizing it as a great organic search traffic generator.
