I tried to enter 3 5 which was interpreted as 3 * 5. Seems a bit risky to me :) Otherwise looks neat.
2*sin(5*cm/(2*m))Looks nice, but is there a reason it interprets m^2 * Pa correctly ≫ 1 Pa * 2 m^2 / N 1 Pa × (2 × m^2 / N) = 2 but doesn't automatically convert a result to N? ≫ 1 Pa * 2 m^2 1 Pa × 2 × m^2 = 2 m²·Pa Same with W, J, s and all their relations.
Automatic simplification (as opposed to explicit conversion) is a complex topic. There are a few simplifications that are already applied, for example:
20 L / m^2
= 0.02 m
Shameless plug for my http://dedo.io/ , which is similar to this this, but with less features, more money-oriented and support for any custom units, e.g. if bag_weight = 12 kg / bag, then 10 bags * bag_weight is 120kg

Thank you for the feedback! Automatic simplification (as opposed to explicit conversion) is a complex topic. There are a few simplifications that are already applied, for example: 20 L / m^2 = 0.02 m You are absolutely right, it'd be nice to have "Pa·m²" be converted to "N" automatically. I've been thinking about simply going through a list of simple, standardized units (SI units like Newton) while trying to convert…
Sorry to be the party stopper for a really awesome tool, just wanted to let you know that you have a dead butterfly as a logo: http://emilydamstra.com/news/please-enough-dead-butterflies/
Very nice! Any plans to add decibel/log-scale units? That would make this even handier.
Nice. This is a lot like (in looks and some functionality) the macOs app, 'Numi' (which I love) : https://numi.io/
Looks pretty nice, but no light years? No attoparsecs? You don't even have hogsheads or fortnights!!!!!1! Still, it's pretty good.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm always open for suggestions on new units ( https://github.com/sharkdp/purescript-quantities )!

you could only apply simplifications that minimised the sum of the absolute value of all the unit exponents. that would be intuitively satisfying, and not require converting imperial to metric (which would leave the exponents unchanged)
