Show HN: Calcutext – Do calculations with your written text

by jaredreich on 7/20/22, 1:42 PM with 4 comments

I was finally able to finish this open-source project that I built to about 90% completion nearly 2 years ago when my daughter was born, during my 1-month parental leave, and then sadly left untouched until a few weeks ago. Hope you enjoy trying out the app and looking at the source code! :)

    I have not any experience with mathjs and did not have any expectations. But I felt in love after writing this:

    r = u / i

    u = 220V

    i = 1A

    r = u / i

    because the editor correctly guessed that I am talking about ohms. BTW I really needed that "max-width" option because on my 1080x2560 vertical monitor I use to see only "o" instead of "ohm" without the option.

    Can't read the name without it being something about Calcutta (now Kolkata).
