Minimal Pricing was a web-based tool built to help users calculate project costs, margins, and profits. It was designed as a lightweight, client-side application for generating pricing breakdowns and customer-ready PDF quotes without requiring persistent backend storage.

This repository is preserved for technical review and documentation purposes only.
The application is no longer actively maintained or deployed.

The application supported:

• Cost and margin calculation based on materials, labor, and additional expenses
• Task-based pricing breakdowns by category
• Profit and margin analysis
• Client-ready PDF quote generation
• Fully client-side data handling (no backend persistence)

All project data lived in browser session storage and was cleared when the session ended.

• Language: TypeScript
• Framework: Next.js (React)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• State Management: React Context API
• PDF Generation: React-PDF
• Data Persistence: Browser Session Storage
• Animations: Motion
• Icons: Lucide React, Heroicons
• Forms: React Number Format
• Analytics: Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights
• Hosting: Vercel (inactive)

• Rapid prototyping of a focused pricing tool
• Clean client-side state modeling
• Practical PDF generation for real-world use
• Zero backend operational cost

The project was discontinued due to limited long-term usage and overlap with existing tools in the market. While technically complete, it did not justify continued maintenance relative to its impact.

The project remains archived as a completed experiment in frontend-heavy application design.
