#82This looks pretty cool. I've long been looking for something similar to Soulver ( https://soulver.app/ ) that I can use on Linux. This seems promising. One small criticism: In my opinion, no web-based writing app is useful unless the tab key inserts a tab. The default behavior of most browsers to move focus to the next field is tremendously infuriating in this context. Unfortunately, that's what happens here, at leas…
Yeah, honestly this has been annoying me too, I just haven't got around to fixing it. It's using CodeMirror 6 as the editor, the author said he deliberately made this version not "break" the default tab behaviour, which I think is understandable as a library author, but that makes it my job to fix!

Might not be as comprehensive as Soulver, but here's something I've been using in a browser to fiddle with: https://cruncher.io/.

#84Very nice! Reminds me a lot of numi (https://numi.app). Similar, but MacOS only (and paid).

#85I find it pretty cool.
Some feedback: I tried to convert m/s in km/h and it wouldn't works, finally found how to do it, you need to specify `hour` in full letters
I assumed it was something like an etherpad that you could edit collaboratively but apparently not

#86I would love to have a plain text "notepad" for iOS, because the built in app is horrendous and converts links to clickable hyperlinks. Etc. Hate that piss shit.

#87Very cool! Some ideas: 1. Doesn't seem to support area conversions (tried 400 square meters, 400 m^2, and abbreviations in between). 2. If I only give a time, it would be more useful if it gave a time-only result rather than defaulting to the current date - unless it rolls over to a different date. (E.g. in Soulver, "2:30pm + 20hr" gives "Tomorrow at 10:30".) 3. It would be nice to support multiple abbreviations for…
Thanks for the feedback
1. "square" before a unit I probably will implement that in the future. I'm not sure why "400 m^2" isn't working for you, I've just tried it and it works as expected for me?
2. It's a little bit clunky, but I decided to always specify the time and date being shown because there's so much potential for ambiguity. I might revisit this if I can think of a better way of doing it that's still unambiguous (the Soulver way isn't bad tbh)
3. "min" is supported, I've never come across "mn", do you know where it's used?

"kph" is also supported, will add support for "km/h"

#89On my Android phone I can't see the last letter of some lines and I'm unable to zoom out.

Gosh, everyone has made one of these haven't they?
