Looks nice! are you relying on mathjs? I think it has some of the same functionality.

If not, is the conversion logic in an npm package?

package.json and bower.json does not include mathjs, so it doesn't seem like it does rely on mathjs.

Yes. The underlying unit-conversion library is called https://github.com/sharkdp/purescript-quantities It does not have a (nice) JavaScript API, so far, as it is written in PureScript - like Insect.
