A calculator built on a text-editor, ideal for programmers.
Executables for windows can be downlaoded on the releases page.
The main idea behind the app is to make a calculator, that truly fits its domain - a desktop PC.
- Why should a calculator have buttons, when you have keyboard underneath your hands?
- Why can't I type entire expressions, but instead have to do the chaining nonsense?
- Why use memory like M+, instead of this
x = 42
?
These are some of the design influencing factors:
- easily recall values from past calculations and make Ctrl + C a breeze
=>
make it text-editor based - perform atleast some symbolic calculations
- keep mathematical notation (
2x
for2*x
), but make impossible squiggles easier to write (3 // 27
fornthroot(3, 27)
) - but most importantly, make a calcualtor, that's actually fun to use
Awl is currently just a simple proof of concept. Give me some time, and I'll implement more features and write some docs.
