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.

Hehe, that's awesome, so glad to hear that! Mathjs is really great with units out of the box, and they also have a custom unit feature that I may use in the future to beef up the unit library.

And nice find on that setting, I have a handful of other settings I want to implement too: https://github.com/jaredreich/calcutext/issues/2

Thank you for trying it out, it means a lot to me.

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