Re:All desktop calculators are wrong, so I had to build my own by jiehong on Wednesday March 31, 2021 @05:31PM (#26653419)
I personally really like using speedcrunch[1] as a desktop calculator, and it’s cross platform. It’s not doing pretty print though.

Otherwise it’s wolfram alpha[2], but that needs internet.

I never type calculations in any search engines, but that’s way too slow compared to speedcrunch.

Maybe I feel similarly to chalk using a web view compared to how electron apps are seen by some.

Displaying inaccuracies is neat! As well as the graphing parts!

I am not a big fan of Webview. But Javascript for pretty print was the only way, so I had no choice.
