You're forgetting the other half of using the software you created - you still need to maintain it!

I think this is something a lot of people who haven't managed others before find hard to understand The easiest example I've found is comparing a manager to a conductor in an orchestra. Most people will only see a conductor on the

I'm not sure if anyone can shed light on this, but I'm finding it really hard to put together any rhyme or reason for the moves Elon has been making at Twitter. Many of the decisions seem to be on a whim (despite the public tellin

Sorry to hear that happened to you. I do remember losing my password for an old domain awhile ago, but I remember it being straight forward and giving me quite a few options to recover it (security questions, backup phone number to send 2FA

Yeah for sure completely agree. Tbh I didn't think too deeply about the scenarios, they were more to put context around what I meant by "fires", and how not mentioning them (which some might consider lying) is necessary somet

I see a lot of responses to this comment, especially these lines: > Transparency is not your job. > You're job is to keep telling your reports that everything is on track no matter what > This will 100% require lying or being

Ahh you have no idea how much trouble I have with unit clashes, not to mention stock price / currencies (btw stocks aren't in at the moment). It's on the roadmap though and good to see others have the same idea!

These are great suggestions! Some of them are on the road map but lots of good additions too. > What I am trying to say is: is there a way for me to see if there are changes I have not seen Currently I have a red "dot" on the c

Thanks great feedback and completely agree about the clunkiness around sums! As a mitigation I did add row highlighting (if you hover over a var it'll highlight the row it was defined at), but the underlying problem of dynamic sums is

Ahh interesting thanks for letting me know - I'll look to get that fixed in the next version!

I love Numi - it's a very beautifully designed app! Didn't realise you could use underscores as separators, will make sure to add it in!

Oh yeah completely agree. I've been working (on and off) on some designs embedding other non-text items into the sheet e.g. tables, graphs, etc. Still in the early phases but the difficulty is balancing the complexity / simplicity

Ah yeah I've had requests to support other characters though unfortunately quite a few of the calculations are passed through to mathjs, which has trouble supporting non latin characters. It's on the list though but unfortunately

Agree about the "just type in text" paradigm though I feel they suffer from the "empty state" problem. You can see I tried to mitigate with the "blank sheet" placeholder text, and on web there're templates

Ahh yeah not at the moment. I intentionally only released on app stores as I didn't want to complicate my deployment, as well as host binaries / handle auto-updates. Signing is also a real pain and (in the case of Windows) quite e

Thanks! I'm not the best designer (my background is dev) though am happy people seem to like it! Why Excel? I feel there's a gap between a "desktop calculator" (like the default calculator in most OSes) and Excel. E.g. D

I was waiting for this question :) I think it should be quite straight forward but it's more the deployment and maintenance I'm conscious of. Mac and Windows (to an extent) both have app stores which can handle hosting, auto-updat

Thanks! And it's interesting you mention those features as I was thinking of adding some in the same vein e.g. charts, stock quotes, pivot tables, etc. Didn't think about notification though but sounds like a good idea! I also cre

Hi all. Figr's a side project I've been working on to get back into coding after being in management the last couple years. I decided to create it as I love using other notepad style calculators i.e. Soulver, Numi, etc, but was a
