✨ New in this refreshed build (July 2)
- 🎯 D-pad (↑ ↓ ← →) — a compact 4-directional navigation cluster in the top-right of the display. Permanently visible, even when the input is empty. ↑ jumps to start, ↓ jumps to end, ← → move one position.
- 🫥 Fixed TopBar — restructured to a 2-row layout so the History button is never hidden under the mode toggle. History button now has a live count badge.
- 👀 Always-visible caret — a blinking caret is now shown at all times (even when LaTeX renders successfully), so you always know where the next keystroke will land.
- 📜 History access from Settings — a new "History" section at the top of the Settings panel with the current calculation count; tap to open the History panel directly.
- 📅 Launch date moved to July 2, 2026 — see the README status update for the reason.
⚠️ Known issues in v0.0.9
1. 🫥 History button hidden under the mode toggle — FIXED in this refreshed build ✅
The History button was previously obscured by the Normal/Sci/Convert segmented toggle on small screens. This is now fixed — the top bar uses a 2-row layout with History on row 1 (left) and the mode toggle on row 2 (centered). The History button also has a count badge now.
Workarounds (no longer needed):
- Keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + H(or⌘ + H) - Settings → "Open history"
2. 🎯 No directional navigation pad (D-pad) — FIXED in this refreshed build ✅
There was no way to move the caret up/down/left/right from the keypad. This is now fixed — a compact 4-directional D-pad sits in the top-right of the display, permanently visible. ↑ = caret to start, ↓ = caret to end, ← → = move one position.
3. 🔐 Authentication not yet implemented
User authentication (Email, Google, Anonymous Guest) is on the roadmap for v1.1. The current v0.0.9 stores all data locally on the device. There is no cloud sync yet.
4. 📱 No APK yet
The Android APK is the headline feature of v1.0.0. v0.0.9 is web-only. To test on mobile today, install it as a PWA:
- Open the live preview at https://open-calc-7.netlify.app/
- In Chrome mobile, tap menu → "Install app"
- OpenCalc appears in your app drawer
5. 🧪 Limited test coverage
Unit, widget, and integration tests are not yet written. We're relying on manual testing for v0.0.9. If you find a bug, please open an issue with reproduction steps.
6. 🌐 No internationalization
The UI is English-only for now. i18n is on the roadmap.
🗺️ What's coming in v1.0.0 (July 2, 2026)
