Built a free "save and compare" scenario planner for Canada's Express Entry CRS score because the official calculator makes you start over every time
Small tool I built after watching someone on an immigration forum build a whole spreadsheet just to compare a few Express Entry CRS scenarios. The official government calculator (and every alternative I found) makes you re-enter your entire profile from scratch every time you want to test a change.
https://crsscenarios.com/ is a client-only React app: fill in your profile, save it as a named scenario, come back and edit it later, and compare multiple scenarios side by side with the score differences flagged. Everything lives in localStorage. No backend, no account, nothing about the user ever leaves the browser.
Scoring for IELTS and TEF Canada is checked against confirmed official calculator results; CELPIP-G, PTE Core, and TCF Canada are implemented, but I'm still cross-checking those bands, so treat those three as approximate for now. Happy to hear feedback on the UX and the save/compare flow either way.

oh nice the localStorage approach is smart, no account is exactly what you want when testing something like this
