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
