#132"Share Doc" doesn't work if you edit a shared doc

#133Fantastic, thank you for implementing one of my future side projects.
I was planning to build a web-based version of Soulver with sharing/collaboration. I hope this can fill that spot for me.

#134It would be cool if "6 minutes / 1 mile in min/km" showed `3:44` instead of (in addition to?) `3.7268`
I wrote my own little calculator, much less general than this, to answer running time questions like "to run an 18 minute 5k, what would my mile pace be"? and it would be neat if that were cleanly solvable in a tool like this

Yeah, that's a feature I really wanted to get out before my launch deadline but sadly it didn't make the cut. Soon though.

#136The docs say that this is using CodeMirror. The CodeMirror license says that you're allowed to use CodeMirror for your stuff, but that stuff has to in turn include: 1. the copyright notice 2. the text itself that explains that you/others have this permission/obligation Currently, it looks like NumPad isn't doing either. From comments here, NumPad is evidently also using decimal.js, which has similar terms.
Both are MIT licensed, I don't think this is the case.

It's true of source code but not artifacts. MIT places no obligation to distribute source, but requires credit and license when someone does so.

#138Love it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!.

#139It's very nicely done, but I'm afraid I don't "get it" with things like this and written out calculators in general. Why would I type out something long like: " Alice's food = £30 Bob's food = £25 VAT = 20% Alice's food + Bob's food + VAT " Rather than just punch (30+25)*1.2 straight into a calculator?
I've found that the Calca[†] format hits a nice sweet spot between using an ordinary calculator and running a spreadsheet.
[†]: http://calca.io
It's particularly suited to calculations I'm doing by fetching various numbers from websites, and for the most part it 'composes' by just copypasting a calca into another one.
Basically where the numbers mean something, aren't stable / I don't know them all when I start, but there's no tabular data or significant aggregation going into the question.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm not distributing the source code so I think I'm good.
