Nice, I created my own: https://numbr.dev
"Figr", "Numbr"... I'm starting to think you guys don't like vowels at the end of your words. Next up: Calculatr
Naming reminds me of the mid to late 2000's.

Congrats on building and launching your app. However, in my opinion, you need different examples to show the strengths of this app. A lot of the examples on your page look kinda clunky and error-prone to me, and better solved with a spreadsheet. Take the "personal finance" one. The "total expenses" row lists out all the expenses adding them out one at a time. In a spreadsheet you'd just type =sum(A1:A5). Imagine it w…
As a mitigation I did add row highlighting (if you hover over a var it'll highlight the row it was defined at), but the underlying problem of dynamic sums is still there.
I was working on a TOTAL() function (which someone also mentioned in this thread), but conceptually I also think some of the calcs are better in a tabular format, so have been toying around with designs with tables etc.
Cool! Looks promising! Some UI/UX remarks... - I would expect to find the 'new sheet' option near the sheet list (on top or on the bottom perhaps?). - Creating a new sheet does not give an empty sheet (instead it presents the same info as in the preloaded example). - How do you deal with different notations for numbers? Can I switch somewhere from #,###.## to #.###,##? - Operators and currency is now displayed in gra…
- When editing the sheet name in the left panel, I could drag the sheet's location into it's text field. - Would it be possible to edit the sheet title when clicking on the title itself (in the right panel)? Maybe show a pencil indicating this possibility. - Local time format is not reflected in the sheet's modification time. What will happen if I share the sheet, will it reflect the latest modification time for all…
> What I am trying to say is: is there a way for me to see if there are changes I have not seen
Currently I have a red "dot" on the cloud icon in the navbar when it's lost server sync - but there are certain cases where it doesn't show. I do need to spend more time on the multi-user aspect, though it's quite a large piece of work and unfortunately not a lot of users seem to use it.
I also think a hierarchy / folder structure would be super useful. Using it regularly I have an unwieldy large number of sheets and it's difficult to find older ones / search!
There is a few things I wanted but mostly missing in these type of calculators. More Units. K for Thousands, M for Million, B for Billion and T for Trillion. Some Calculators either dont offer these, or they do but with different Letters representation because M, B and T are used for something else. IMO this seems backwards because those are the most common unit in analysis. Other Units including PB for Petabytes, TB…
It's on the roadmap though and good to see others have the same idea!
I use Python program for that It works pretty fine Example $ python >>> weeklyprice=4000 >>> dailyprice=weeklyprice/7 >>> februaryprice=dailyprice\*28 >>> februaryprice 15988
A Jupyter notebook would work in much the same way, and has the advantage of being able to mingle Markdown in with the code. Neither is as approachable for a non-programmer as the OP, however.
I'm still looking for the perfect text-based solution.

Ahh you have no idea how much trouble I have with unit clashes, not to mention stock price / currencies (btw stocks aren't in at the moment). It's on the roadmap though and good to see others have the same idea!
For example I want to do a comparison between certain period of time, so Market Cap are specific to those Date.
In another example I want to keep an eye on Big Tech's current market Cap, and the list would update every day. Giving me an overview of current situation.
