How hard would it be to code something like this?

disclaimer: I've never coded anything more than the simplest calculators, but considering this can 'basically' be coded inside of excel, it should be fairly easy, even for a beginner, given he is intelligent.
I think the visual side of things will be tougher to code.

Interesting -- im sure the visual side would just be simple css but ive been trying my shot at the actual functionality and failing miserably :/

I honestly don't know much about the terminology in play here, but you could start off by searching online for 'coding pivot table'. What we have here with this trade site is basically a pivot table, you adjust a handful of values and the code cuts down the database to show results that match. There might be a better name for this type of thing, but back in high school IT class that's what we called them ^^
 
Are you using client side filtering using JavaScript or make remote calls to filter on the backend? Either way it’s not difficult, more tedious depending on how many filters you have available.
 
The concept is not difficult, this could be made as simple as exposing a database of information ( in this case diamonds ) using a framework for building REST API (look up crud). Actual implementation of front end and back end can be as big or small as your information needs.
 
It’s not that different, what’s the source of your info, API or is it held in your own DB
 
Are you asking from backend perspective or from frontend?
Nothing special, just a typical datatables library, plus several inputs that emit events on change and the datatable catch those events and apply filters.
