Nearly 90 years of family craftsmanship. Engagement rings, heirlooms, repairs, appraisals, gold buying, and the kind of customer trust that only a real local business can earn across generations.
For the Base44 #GiveItAGlow challenge, I wanted to give that legacy a digital experience worthy of the brand.
Before, too much of the business still depended on analog systems:
Inventory lived in spreadsheets. Appraisals relied on calculators, paper notes, and delayed callbacks. Custom design and heirloom documentation mostly started in person. 3,700+ products were difficult to organize, review, and act on quickly.
So I built Maurice’s Jewelers a complete digital operating system — not just a website.
The platform includes:
A live luxury storefront Three showroom modes A Diamond Room A custom Design Lab A Gemstone Vault Virtual Try-On Heirloom Passports Appointment booking Live gold appraisal intake An admin appraisal workflow And ARIA — an AI inventory advisor that helps review the full catalog and recommend what to restock, archive, or stop tracking.
The real value is in the automation.
A gold appraisal request that used to require a phone call and manual follow-up can now begin instantly online. Customers submit details, receive an estimate, and the lead lands directly in the owner’s review queue.
Inventory review also becomes faster. Instead of manually sorting through spreadsheet exports, ARIA turns thousands of products into clear business actions with explainable recommendations.
The project also supports Maurice’s branded retail presence through:

With live branded destinations:
That gives the business more than a storefront. It gives Maurice’s a modern customer experience, stronger digital brand infrastructure, better lead capture, and a platform the business can keep building on.
This is what small businesses need.
Not just a prettier homepage.
Leverage.
A way to save time. A way to serve customers better. A way to turn legacy trust into modern advantage.
Ninety years of craft. One digital renaissance.

Got tired of dealing with clunky, rate-limited 3rd-party scrapers, so I built my own.
Just testing out my custom Google Maps lead generation scraper, built on Next.js, Playwright, and Supabase. It pulls business listings, finds public contact emails, and automatically dedupes everything before saving.
A few things that make it completely frictionless:
Search and initiate scrapes directly from the UI—no need to even open Google Maps.
Added a Queue system so you can run multiple scrapes simultaneously.
Real-time progress tracking (you can see the live log running in Screenshot 2026-07-07 173222.png).
I am thinking about open-sourcing the whole thing. Should I drop the code on my GitHub?
Also, I need a better name for it. My working title is "Glead", but I am completely open to suggestions. Let me know what you think!
Nice build. If you open-source it, I would prioritize making the architecture and queue system easy to extend, that's usually what gets developers to adopt and contribute.
For this submission, I worked on something called-- Relique
Relique- An an end-to-end Business-to-Consumer B2C e-commerce marketplace platform where antiques, thrift shops, and vintage boutiques can list their old, pre-owned, and/or historical item products under their shops. Users pick and choose not only the items they want, but an antique shop of their choosing.
I had fun working with Wonder. Thank you!
