Why We're Not Raising Funds

@ohquu: people calculate craploads of things on a daily basis. More often than not they're using calculators that look pretty much the same as those in the 70's. I want to make it easier, faster and more pleasant. I want people to be able to calculate things that right now they can't and aren't willing to learn how to.

"Much bigger" doesn't need to mean we're gonna send people to Mars. Solving even small problems for tens or hundreds of millions of people qualifies as "much bigger" for me.

I'm glad you have a successful application, but are people really unable to multiply their bill by 1.15 to get the new total with a tip?

I'm curious, what is the most requested new feature you're getting from your users.

Yeah, simple percentage, tip & discount calculators are the most used.

Feature request come from markup/profit margin and "trader's" calculator users. And they have more serious needs (and they never want the same thing...).

This is actually the most stressful part of dinner. Along with splitting a bill fairly.

Of course I can do it, but when I'm talking with people I'd rather do it much faster with less likelihood of a mistake.

Move the decimal point to the left. Boom, %10.

Move the decimal point to the left, then double. Boom, %20.
