GoldRateX
Real-time global gold prices — fast, simple, and built on Cl
Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I wanted to share a side project I recently built: GoldRateX — a fast, lightweight web app that shows real-time gold prices globally.
⚙️ What it does
GoldRateX displays live gold prices in a clean and simple interface.
It updates instantly and works smoothly on both desktop and mobile.
You can view:
Current gold rates (per gram, ounce, etc.)
Localized prices
A simple converter
I built it mainly for users who want speed and accuracy without clutter or ads.
💡 Why I built it
Most gold rate websites I tried were slow, outdated, or overloaded with unnecessary stuff.
So I wanted to create something minimal, modern, and serverless — hosted fully on Cloudflare Workers.
This setup keeps the site lightning-fast, even with live API data updates.
🔧 Tech stack
Cloudflare Workers for serverless hosting
Cloudflare D1 for structured data
Custom API integration for live metal prices
Plain HTML + JS + CSS for simplicity and speed
🚀 What’s next
I’m planning to add:
Historical gold price charts
Country-specific currency conversion
API endpoints for developers
If anyone here has experience building analytics or alert systems for similar data projects, I’d love your thoughts 🙌

Feedback is super welcome — especially on:
Performance
Design / usability
Ideas to make it more useful for investors or developers
Thanks for reading 🙏
Building with Cloudflare Workers has been a great experience so far — happy to connect with anyone doing similar stuff!
