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

Oh, okay, then I won't use it. Maybe it would have been better to say that up front instead of springing it on people later.

`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 :)

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 local-first and it uses CRDTs to sync documents.

It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Plk1DQ4.png the calculator is mostly the same for now, with a few improvements. It's unstable right now, so I don't want to publicise the dev url, but if you'd like to become a beta tester email me at contact@numpad.io

I think this is super cool, but feel like the killer implementation would be an extension for VSCode. Just a thought.

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.

I would love a pad where i could dump any text with numbers and it will sum/avg all of them

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 beta!

nice! yes, please, add me to the beta :)

That 'per' and 'to' syntax you got there is chefs kiss.

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

I see this on the example: 6 ft 2.0000000000000000004 inches

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

super cool
