I 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

This is fixed now https://numpad.io?#text/JwOgHAtg9AzgBASwHZwNbQBZA

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!

To save you some time, here is what I did to add tabs to CM 6 (I think I found it somewhere or I may have cobbled it together to insert two spaces): First import things you need: import { indentMore, indentLess } from "@codemirror/commands" Then create a command: export const insertTab: StateCommand = ({state, dispatch}) => { if (state.selection.ranges.some(r => !r.empty)) return indentMore({state, dispatch}) dispatc…

Thank you so much! Changes are live now :)

Just when I thought I understood the MIT license, I'm back to confused. Can you link me to where this is clearly outlined? Do you need to attribute somewhere in artifacts or not?

Not sure what you want. A link where this is clearly outlined? The license is two sentences and sets out the terms. The repeated distinction between source code and "artifacts" in this context is pure make-believe. The license doesn't even have those words in it, let alone say something like " Redistribution and use in source form requires inclusion of this permission notice and the above copyright notice, but if you…

Well, there's tons of conflicting advice out there if that's the case. Top result on DDG links through to this answer: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/5828/where-wo...

And this was my understanding of how it works for artifacts. You don't have to attribute in the software itself, just the code.

I have a side project slightly similar to the functionality your tool offers focused on expense tracking (or other measures) over time, adding date parsing to the equation in order to plot metrics into a graph and with tags and locations for filtering.

I'm (slowly) working on something that can eat up PSD2 data from banks and parse it into some usable data, but I'm bad at nicely presenting stuff. It would be great to see your tool and get some inspiration, or maybe even use it.

This sounds super interesting.

I've been thinking of ways to parser phone screenshots with payment data or use bank APIs to add data to my expense tracker, as opposed to adding everything manually, which is the best way I've found for consistency and to make sure everything is properly formatted.

I didn't know about PSD2. Do you have any links or references for me to look at?

Nice! Can you send a link or is it still in development?

Hey!

It's still in development. I built a proof-of-concept from scratch almost a year ago, which I just open-sourced at the following link.

https://github.com/nonoesp/note-parser

I intend to develop it a bit more and host it online.

A previous prototype, really barebones, is at https://expensed.me.

The idea is to drag and drop (or type) a plain-text note and visualize the data as a scatterplot or other charts.

You get it that you're proving the point that comments like those are harmful, right?

Well, I wasn't trying to prove or disprove anything. Just seeking clarity.

Not sure if you were referring directly to me, but I don't think my comment was harmful. Others may have also been led astray and an exchange like this might be educational for them to read.

MIT makes no distinction between source and artifacts. The requirement to include a notice stems from any distribution of the software. https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT

Thank you.
