Calca VS PCalc

This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at: * https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive * https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive.

For example, calculating friction in hvac ductwork, voltage drop in long electrical circuits, solar gains for windows or solar panels facing various directions, cost/benefit analyses of thicker or thinner roof insulation and so on... These are all 1 to 10 lines of code so there isn't a big porting cost in... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
