Re:SiMin: Markdown for Numbers by shraiwi on Wednesday August 14, 2024 @04:57PM (#41250423)
Hi HN,

I've been increasingly frustrated by the limitations of standard number inputs, especially when dealing with large values or numbers with units. Most applications simply provide a basic number box, which falls short in many scenarios.

To address this, I've created SiMin, a lightweight format for writing and parsing big numbers using SI prefixes with an emphasis on readability.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
