#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Explained in a terrible way, it's integrals for interest if "compound daily/monthly/yearly" was an estimation using discrete intervals
you didn't really improve by hiding behind "integrals"; this is why so many kids are afraid of calculus.
The explanation worked for me. I learned basic calculus but didn't know about continual compounding interest.

#33I started something similar recently: https://calcbun.com
They key is finding unique calculators.

#34One calculator I’ve come to love over the years is Numi. I keep it open all day every day and it does a pretty good job of bridging the gap between the typical skewmorphic calculator app and scilab or python. It’s a text based calculator that allows you to declare variables and do unit and base conversions and save and load your work. No graphing though unfortunately and i dont think it really has much in the way of…
I also love numi on my mac! a similar online alternative is https://numbr.dev/

#35If I calculate something, hit back in my history, and then return, what I had entered is wiped out.
If I enter text into this HN comment box, hit back in my history, and then return, what I've typed is maintained.

#36A suggestion for your speed converter: different sports use different units which your converter could support as well.
A few examples:
Running usually measures pace in minutes per kilometer or mile. That will be extra fun for you since it wouldn't be 4.33333 min/km but would be written as sth like 4:20 min/km.
Swimming uses min/100m or sec/100m.
Rowing uses min/500m.
If you add these then I'd be using this a lot!

#37AI can't calculate anyway, so, you're doing good.

#40Loser. I bet you missed out on the metaverse. And blockchain.
Seriously, this is great - solving problems for users seems to be hugely underrated here.
