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/

Remember Graphing Calculator? That could use such features.
Autodesk Inventor understands units in formulas, but mostly for length and angle. Everything becomes meters internally.

Wow! The article is eye-opening; worthy of submitting to HN as a news link in my opinion to create more awareness. If you agree, please submit.
It unfortunately fails my go-to test for these calculators: ≫ 7.8L/100km -> miles/gallon 7.8 L / 100 km -> mi / gal Conversion error: Cannot convert unit L/km (base units: m²) to unit mi/gal (base units: m⁻²)
That's because your unit conversion is invalid. It's entirely possible to construct an equation that computes mi/gal from L/km (or from gal/mi for that matter), but the dimmensionalty of the two numbers clearly disagree. Yes, you can introduce scenarios like yours where "any human" would know what the intended meaning of the question is, but mathematically speaking it's incorrect and encouraging a calculator to perfo…

I tried "4 tbsp to oz" and it interprets oz as mass instead of volume. Google correctly gives me 2 as the answer.
Very nice! Any plans to add decibel/log-scale units? That would make this even handier.
Thank you! "bel" is already supported ("decibel" also, due to the handling of SI prefixes). Unfortunately, "dB" is parsed as "deci-byte". While this is not really a useful unit, this is on purpose (see https://github.com/sharkdp/insect/issues/67 ) in order to support "kB", "MB", etc. for "kilobyte", "megabyte", etc.
That's cute. Are there any phone apps which do that? Remember Graphing Calculator? That could use such features. Autodesk Inventor understands units in formulas, but mostly for length and angle. Everything becomes meters internally.
