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 (t

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

`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 :)

When I launched a lot of people asked for an Obsidian plugin too. I'm not averse to the idea, but I'm trying to turn it into a business, and those models seem tough to make any money from.

Yeah, that was annoying. It's fixed in v2

It's not showing in the screenshot because the numbers in the doc have different units, but it does do that https://imgur.com/a/SusFZDh (bottom right hand corner). Let me know if you'd like to be part of the

Thanks! Though I can't really take credit for it, Soulver did it before me.

I launched my web-based notepad calculator, https://numpad.io/ , a few years ago. Right now I'm working on a version 2 that has user accounts, multiple documents, markdown support, and document exports. Everything is lo

That's a great analogy! I'd been wondering for a while whether that's a problem with this approach; to be honest I still don't know whether it is, so it would be good to see someone test it empirically.
