Funny. Beatifully written but the first thing I tried to do in the calculator sucked.
I wanted to know the percentage I’m responsible for in a new budget and all the calculator showed me was some fraction. There was no easy / obvious way to get the decimal representation.
So…neat idea but my incredibly common use case is not supported. Goes to show sometimes you need focus on what’s important-otherwise the fancy features won’t be remembered the day you do need it.

I think it is a bit extreme and voluntarily biased, but I enjoyed the
reading, both the UI part and the math part.
I agree that most calculators are broken: that's why I produced mine. I
just addressed many o his complaints in a different way.
I disagree with certain conclusions though and also the extreme
complexity he went through: WebKit and all the related stuff to make a
Calculator? You know you went too far... and he knows himself how
fragile is monstrum is.
