I understand the point you’re making, but if this is a programme doomed to achieve nothing, that makes the risk even less acceptable.

There's a shout out to Soulver in the FAQ https://docs.numpad.io/#did-you-invent-the-notepad-calculato.... It's a great app, but Mac/iOS exclusive, and I think NumPad handles unit calculations a bit better (though I'm biased).

Yeah, you're correct, it's intentional. Though it's pretty gross to be honest.

Yeah, this was a deliberate decision, but a tough one and I can see why you might find it annoying. I think it makes date and time calculations more readable:
09:11 to 15:46

It's closed source

`200 Mbps * 2 hours in Mb` the second one works because the derived unit of the calculation works out to be exactly the same as a megabit, but that's not the case for the first one so you have to convert manually.

Yes it is, and it's on my roadmap.

Honestly, I don't mind. It's useful to know about alternative products, and I hadn't heard about this one. Thanks all the same though :)

Yes exactly, I had live multi-user editing as a feature until just before launch. In the end it needed a bit more work though, so I had to pull it.

Numpad: https://numpad.io/
It's a web-based notepad calculator, which means it's a notes app but it can evaluate inline calculations like
``` £300 in USD + 20%
09:00 to 18:30 - 45 minutes ```
I wrote the core of the calculator a few years ago, and I've just launched a big rewrite that supports
* document syncing * offline editing * markdown formatting * PDF and HTML exports * autocomplete * vim mode
Happy to hear feedback :)
