Tydlig – Calculator Reimagined for iPad and iPhone

This looks great, for some uses, but I know myself (and a lot of my coworkers) would much prefer a beautiful iPhone calculator that behaves more like a 10-key/adding machine than an iPython notebook.

Graphing functionality on a phone reminds me of an old TI calculator. I really don't know why recent OSes (be it on PC, smartphone, tablet) always came with such feeble calculators. It's not like TI calculators are difficult to use. Sure if all you want is add/min/mul/div functionality the TI is essentially a traditional calculator, and then behind that you've got all these nifty graphing utilities. It's not like a graphing calculator app is going to be that difficult to program, or going to be large in size. But no, in 2013, vanilla OS installations are stuck with a calculator app that has less features than that of a computer a few million times less powerful.

(Now I feel bad; bitching and complaining is against the Open Source Spirit).

Edit: I do recall that OSX comes with something similar, except that not many people actually know of it (as far as I can tell, from my friends with OSX).

And now for the majority market share, the android version?

Just because an OS has a "majority market share" doesn't make it a suitable market. Elegant, minimal premium apps like Clear have done well on the iOS app store, but it's hard to imagine a $5 calculator app getting much interest on Android.

As a Matlab enthusiast, this is probably the coolest thing I've seen in years.

Good job guys, I have high hope for this in the future!
