When I type `4W*3hours` the result is `12 mWh`. Same with `12Wh/3hours = 4kW`
Oh, thank you for the bug report. I'm not sure why that's happening, but will look into it shortly.

#32This is awesome.
Minor bug report -
* 5 feet 8 inches to centimeters -> -171.72 cm
* 5 feet 8 inches to meters -> -0.7272 m
* 5 feet 8 inches to cms -> doesn't work
The conversion seems wrong in the case of cms, and I'm not sure why it's always negative.

#33Nice - I'll give it props for: > 1 metre + 8 chain = 161.9344 m > 1 tonne + 1 short ton = 1.90718474 t > 1 tonne + 1 long ton = 2.0160469 t and give it a pass for not supporting pre 1963 UK | US historic weights and measures .. that's getting into a pretty specific use case where Standards nerds like to have a clear display of what conversion factors are in play and what provenance those factors have. Time Zone suppo…
Well, I love this comment. And yes, time zone support terrifies me an order of magnitude more than anything else on the list.

#34THIS IS AMAZING. the next step is adding variables and assignments and conditionals, and you have something very powerful that can be used by just about anybody to do really interesting things. provided you have a way to integrate with other services that a lot of people use

"to" is a subtraction operation, not a convert to cue.
As in (distance from) 30 to 50 (is 20 == 50 - 30 )

#36This is awesome!
Some feature requests:
it would be great though if you could have multiple sessions/tabs in stead of 1. Also a clear button would be nice.

#37This is great! Love Soulver too, but having it in the browser is fantastic. Well done!
I'm a big fan of Soulver too! It's the OG in this app category and I still use it for calculations NumPad can't do (yet!).

#38There is something wrong with the order of operations. When I type 2+2*2-6 i get -6 which should be 0.

"cms" is nothing, try "cm". Also you're 100% correct that this shouldn't be a negative number. Screenie [0]

//EDIT
Ah yeah, replace "to" with "in" and you're good! [1]

It looks like APL order? Right-to-left.
