This is very cool. I was able to so some a small budget to see what my expenses are monthly, it's quite nice. I can see myself using it anytime I need something more than paper, and less than a full spreadsheet. Very cool.
I use Numerals(1) in Obsidian for this, and it works great. It's built on mathjs(2) and has things like @total functions which automatically sum all uninterrupted lines above it.
It doesn't hurt to list alternative products, right? Understanding the competition and lacking features. Mine isn't the only post in this thread mentioning other products that do roughly the same thing.
Super clean style of interaction regarding the units and general syntax.
Regarding the CRDT side of things what's the main driver? Syncing is probably better off without CRDT (I'd rather know a note had 2 copies significantly edited differently and now I have a sync conflict rather than no sync conflict but a hacked up note) so I'm assuming paid customers get (or will soon get) live multi user editing (i.e. you can trade local for concurrent usage)
How do I do get the right result when trying: 200Mbps * 2hours? I get "400 Mbits/s hr" and that's not what I'm looking for. It seems to be working if I use seconds instead. 200Mbps*2s=400 megabits
Nice tool, but the calculator executes division before exponentiation. E.g. 2^4/2 is evaluated to 4, not 8. However, it executes exponentiation first before multiplication (e.g. 2^2*3 is evaluated to 12). Is this intentional?
This is intentional, even if unexpected, as shown in line 152 of the link (turn on line numbers in the settings menu). I agree that following PEMDAS would make more sense.
Edit: it's the equation below "Although if you want to find roots higher than 3..."
Maybe the author did intentionally break order of operations for shorthand on other roots, maybe they just forgot that's not how it's normally parsed. 152 doesn't comment on intent one way or the other, it just demonstrates how it currently is.

Yes it does. Show HN is a very small opportunity for normal ppl to talk about their things.

Handling of "to" is a bit odd though.
150 kn in km/h [277.79976 kph] - this is unit convertion
150 kn to km/h [-276.79976 kph] - this is unexpectedly subtraction. I expected the unit conversion here, because of Raycast and Google

What's the license? I wouldn't want to use your code if copyright law poses a threat.
I find them super useful. Using natural language and storing the context along with the calculations helps me to sort of think through problems.
Being able to define variables on the fly is also very useful — I often use them for pricing out materials for projects. E.g.:
(What you can't see here is that Soulver gives all the totals in a bar on the right).Soulver has some examples of other uses on their homepage: https://soulver.app
Also is it possible to use CRDT as rich undo history, not only syncing?
