If you're taking suggestions, I have a frequent need to do basic arithmetic on fractions and not many "app" calculators do that well or at all.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
There is a basic math calculator: https://www.calcverse.live/calculators/basic Do let me know if you want to see any changes in it.
Ah! Sure is. I missed the sidebar when I looked through. Overall this is very nice. I typically use omnicalculator, this is a nice fresh look compared to that tool.
I aim to fulfil requests within 24 hrs on an average.

#74Some comments, based purely on https://www.calcverse.live/calculators/bmi . • Keyboard accessibility is suffering, because the buttons aren’t associated with a form. Most notably, pressing Enter when one of the text boxes is selected doesn’t do anything. You should put everything inside a element, and then if you’re using , decide whether it’s type=button or type=submit. • A tad more subjective, but actual radio butt…

#75A suggestion for your speed converter: different sports use different units which your converter could support as well. A few examples: Running usually measures pace in minutes per kilometer or mile. That will be extra fun for you since it wouldn't be 4.33333 min/km but would be written as sth like 4:20 min/km. Swimming uses min/100m or sec/100m. Rowing uses min/500m. If you add these then I'd be using this a lot!
Will aim to implement it within 24 hrs. Thanks again!

#77I create calculators in support of the guides I write for immigrants.[0] They are a great way to turn 10 pages of text into a simple form with a clear output. I'm a big fan of them, especially when you add advice to the output.
A bit of advice + opinions:
- The fields look grayed out and disabled. Using a traditional white background would make more sense.
- You should explain what the calculator does, why it matters, and how to interpret the output. This confers some SEO benefits, too.
- The age calculator would be easier to find as a difference-between-two-dates calculators. It would be cool to have a reverse "X days ago" calculator. I use both often, and most of the top options suck.
- Set some maximum line widths. It helps readability.

#78A tiny bit of feedback, for you about unit conversion. I don't want to convert 47383974 seconds to hours, I want to know that it's 1 year, 6 months, 0 days, 18 hours, 51 minutes, and 18 seconds. I don't want to know that 7492837 inches. that's 624,403.0833 feet, but what I really want is for it to say 118 miles, 454 yards, 1 foot, and 1 inch!

#79Good work. I for a second thought they are physical ones.
Thanks! Yup, its natural to think of that at first, that would be even more fun :)
