I understand the point you’re making, but if this is a programme doomed to achieve nothing, that makes the risk even less acceptable.

There's a shout out to Soulver in the FAQ https://docs.numpad.io/#did-you-invent-the-notepad-calculato... . It's a great app, but Mac/iOS exclusive, and I think NumPad handles unit…

Yeah, you're correct, it's intentional. Though it's pretty gross to be honest.

Yeah, this was a deliberate decision, but a tough one and I can see why you might find it annoying. I think it makes date and time calculations more readable: 09:11 to 15:46

It's closed source

`200 Mbps * 2 hours in Mb` the second one works because the derived unit of the calculation works out to be exactly the same as a megabit, but that's not the case for the first one…

Yes it is, and it's on my roadmap.

Honestly, I don't mind. It's useful to know about alternative products, and I hadn't heard about this one. Thanks all the same though :)

Yes exactly, I had live multi-user editing as a feature until just before launch. In the end it needed a bit more work though, so I had to pull it.

Numpad: https://numpad.io/ It's a web-based notepad calculator, which means it's a notes app but it can evaluate inline calculations like ``` £300 in USD + 20% 09:00 to 18:30 - 45 …

I launched NumPad v1 on here a few years ago, and back then it wasn't much more than a thin CodeMirror wrapper around the calculator engine I'd written. Now I've rewritten it as a …

When I launched a lot of people asked for an Obsidian plugin too. I'm not averse to the idea, but I'm trying to turn it into a business, and those models seem tough to make any mon…

Yeah, that was annoying. It's fixed in v2

It's not showing in the screenshot because the numbers in the doc have different units, but it does do that https://imgur.com/a/SusFZDh (bottom right hand corner). Let me know if y…

Thanks! Though I can't really take credit for it, Soulver did it before me.

I launched my web-based notepad calculator, https://numpad.io/ , a few years ago. Right now I'm working on a version 2 that has user accounts, multiple documents, markdown support,…

My side project NumPad https://numpad.io got me my current job at Decipad https://www.decipad.com/ (the similar naming scheme is a coincidence!). I came across Decipad while lookin…

That's a great analogy! I'd been wondering for a while whether that's a problem with this approach; to be honest I still don't know whether it is, so it would be good to see someon…
