I understand the point you’re making, but if this is a programme doomed to achieve nothing, that makes the risk even less acceptable.

That is equally fair. My position I suppose is that my enthusiasm has been spent on so many half-finished ambitious programs like this that it has all run out by 2026. Constellation, Asteroid Redirect, Artemis. If I was older that would include SEI.

At least this one had real missions fly if it suffers the same fate. The crew of Artemis is among the ones most aware that most space missions never happen. The anxiety of being in these astronaut classes must be unbearable, especially as the ISS ages. I don't know if this mission can maintain public confidence in the program as the world grows more chaotic and people's attentions are not focused on the sky but the ground.

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 :)
