What is wrong with “bc” ;-) half joking, anybody else who uses bc? I am by no means an expert, just using the regular add/multiply and sometimes a variable.
This looks way better though.

#22My favourite IOS calculator app (for those who are RPN minded). Love this little free gem!

Pretty easy as in... the Electron stuff that everyone complains about?

#24Soulver is a similar app for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with shared documents in iCloud Drive. Check it out if you’re looking for something like this to go!
Soulver is so good. I use it almost every single day. It's just a great app and isn't that expensive. One of those apps I completely miss when it's not installed on a new device.

This is what I do. I do it so frequently that I have a small script `b` so that I can `b 'l(156)'` or just type `b` to get a shell with the match library loaded. Seems funny to alias a 2 char command but I often prefer passing the expression on the command line.

I alias ‘clear’ to ‘c’ because I use it so often and have to immediately set it up on any new machine.

One or two developers working and testing on their own machines will have an awful experience trying to make their app work multi-platform.
This type of app is going to be valued higher by Mac users.

#29Does anyone have thoughts on how natural it feels to use ‘:’ instead ‘=‘ for variable creation? From a distance it has a nice elegance, but it is interesting how few programming languages make this choice.

It's easy to make something multi-platform, but as many lone developers on all OS's have experienced, it quickly becomes a nightmare to maintain more than one platform.
Given the ease of macOS GUI development to begin with, there are more small-time, lone developers making full GUI apps there, versus other platforms.
Other platforms have a higher barrier of entry in that regard, so the landscape is more conducive to having already started out as a team and so developing a more significant app worthy of that kind of investment.
