Appreciate the effort you put into this. In terms of user flow, I typically need one or two of these use cases at a time. In that case, I just type my conversion into a search engine like Google, and often use their default box.

Can you share what types of use cases you've seen people use KodyTools for?

Thanks for appreciation. Actually, user does not cover all units. It only shows most common one in terms of length. There are various units in terms of weight, area, and length that are used on regional level. If you just look at the area and length category dropdown, you will be suprised.

I agree with you. There's clearly been a lot of work put into this but it's sooooo busy that I find it unpleasant to use.

For me, a different UI could fix the problem. Give me a field where I can ask directly "how many cups are in 4.37 cubic meters?"

As it stands now, I can get the answer from any search engine or voice assistant more quickly than from this site.

Think it's designed more for SEO than usability.
