Nice work on getting this out. I think it looks pretty neat and simple to use.

I’ve had some issues when using it though: - on mobile, moving the cursor in a calculation doesn’t work very well; - More important, multiplying “200 * 10%” results in “2000%”, I believe the result should be “20”; https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=200+*+10%25

Those are equal values right? This is just formatting preference.

I agree formatting should probably go with the first factor, but I wouldn't say current behavior is incorrect

I also had issues navigating on mobile (iPad). There seem to be hover states that get in the way (example: I tapped on a line to move to that line and it had a small popup to say something was copied)
